The '''Battle of Kakkor''' (sometimes spelled Kakkod) was fought between the [[Maratha Confederacy|Maratha]] [[Holkar]] [[Indore State|principality of Indore]], led by the veteran Gangadhar Tatya, who was sent into battle by [[Malhar Rao Holkar]], and the [[Rajput Kingdoms|Rajput]] [[Kingdom of Amber]] under [[Sawai Madho Singh]] in present-day Kakor, Uniara, Tonk district of [[Rajasthan]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=G.

==Battle==
In 1759, [[Malhar Rao Holkar|Malharrao Holkar]] invaded [[Jaipur]] where a fierce battle took place. He despatched Gangadhar Tatya. [[Madho Singh I|Madho Singh]] dispatched an army of 4000 that was completely crushed. Tatya attacked Thakur Jodhsingh Singh, who was wounded and killed; the death of this commander was fatal as it saved Marathas who were on the verge of defeat. Gulab Singh tried to command the army, but was also killed. Lastly, [[Sawai Pratap Singh Naruka|Pratap Singh Naruka]] took the charges and fiercely went upon slaying the Marathas. Gangadhar Tatya was wounded, and had to escape from the battlefield whereas casualties of Rajput were huge, nearly 20 captains were slain. Rajputs were forced to seek peace.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Misra |first=S. c |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.131569 |title=Sindhia-holkar Rivalry In Rajasthan |date=1981 |pages=42}}</ref>
==Aftermath==
[[Malhar Rao Holkar|Malharrao Holkar]] later laid siege to and captured Burwada fort, forcing Rajputs again to seek peace. Malharrao wasn't able to plunder for long as he had to leave Rajputana to help [[Dattaji Rao Scindia|Dattaji]]. He arrived too late as Dattaji had already fallen in the [[Battle of Barari Ghat]] .<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

The production later returned to Mumbai for a major action schedule beginning on 6 August 2026. For the schedule, the production recreated an [[Afghanistan|Afghan]] village at Prime Focus Studio in Film City, [[Goregaon]], featuring mud-plastered buildings, narrow lanes and weathered homes. The set was constructed for several major action sequences featuring Khan and Nayanthara, with the production using Mumbai as a substitute for the Afghan setting rather than filming in Afghanistan.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 August 2026 |last=Basu |first=Mohar |title=Vamshi Paidipally creates Afghanistan in Mumbai for Salman Khan's action scenes in SVC63 |url=https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/svc63-vamshi-paidipally-creates-afghanistan-in-mumbai-for-salman-khan-action-scenes-23644313 |website=[[Mid-Day]] |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=12 August 2026 |title=Salman Khan and Nayanthara join SVC63 action schedule as Vamshi Paidipally builds Afghanistan set in Mumbai - Report |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/133173642.cms |website=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref>
