Talking to the Hindustan Times about his excitement to work with Mr Deol, Gopichandh said, “More than nervous about my Bollywood debut, I feel confident that it’ll be a good film. I wrote the script knowing it’d be perfect for someone like Sunny. Luckily, Mythri Movie Makers (the producers) also agreed and helped me approach him. To my surprise, Sunny said yes immediately because he liked it so much.”

“He’s a big action hero, I’m a mass director, and we have the perfect script. And let’s be clear, it’s not a remake,” he added.

Further, the renowned director said that although he can’t reveal much about the film now, he spoke about how a particular plot point would set his movie apart from others. Malineni also talked about the script being racy with a touch of realism.
