For those who have yet to catch the film in theatres, Donga's character dies at the end of the film after fighting to save Rahman Dakait. Donga heroically throws bombs, fires the gun against the gang of Jinn, but is ultimately shot dead.

Naveen Kaushik shared that a body double was used for the scene in the film. The actor took to his Instagram account and shared a hilarious pic with his body double, as they looked at the camera in identical attires. In the caption, Naveen added, “The sequence that defined Donga. Saara anger and rage ek moment mein nikalke screen pe aa gaya. And to set the record straight- saar mein goli nahi lagi thi, Hamza ne rear view mirror se maara. (*bahut kamina aadmi hai Hamza.) (I had to show all the anger and rage in one moment on screen. But yes my character did not get shot in the head, Hamza had fired from the rear view mirror).”

Aapne ne mere saath milke Donga ke action sequence ko superhit bana diya (And there was a body double used for these scenes as I could not be trusted for that job. Thank you to him for making the action sequence a superhit).”
