“Also, I am glad to collaborate with Akshay Sir again after three years and present this wonderful film for audiences across the world.”
The film is written and directed by Ashok, produced by Vikram Malhotra and presented by actor-producer Akshay Kumar under the Cape of Good Films banner, along with Bhushan Kumar under the T-Series banner.
