The movie reunites the team of Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shabina Khan, who earlier worked together for the Hindi remake of 'Vikramarkudu', 'Rowdy Rathore'. Prabhudeva, the director of 'Rowdy Rathore', was supposed to join too; however, he was forced to opt out due to scheduling conflict with a film that he is directing for Ajay Devgn.
