HT City, while revealing the film’s title last year in July, had reported, “The group felt this title explains their subject the very best, and communicates precisely how Priyadarshan sees it- as an edge of the seat thriller. There were other titles in contention, however this one clicked all, offered the characters the lead stars play.”
Saif and Akshay are signing up with forces after last starring in the 2008 movie Tashan. The shoot started in August 2025.
