Reports say that this film is being made under Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s banner, and it marks Sunny Deol’s first-ever collaboration with them. The film is said to be a big-budget action thriller. The team did not want to rush anything. So they mutually agreed to delay the shoot and start when everyone could focus fully on the film.
