It is his power. The guy has a mystical connection with fire. So, I called it Dragon. There's something I like about the word."

Further a source had added, "Ranbir's character has shades of grey and his powers include emitting fire from his palms. He has to practise limb coordination and is training with international experts. He will undergo special workshops to get the physical nuances of his character on point."
