The movie is reportedly based on real events of the financial market during 1990 and 2000, involving  Indian stockbroker Harshad Mehta and his financial crimes. According to Times of India, Ileana D'Cruz is the female lead but is not paired opposite Abhishek.

Kookie Gulati is directing the film, with Ajay Devgn attached to produce. Kookie had helmed the Vivek Oberoi-starrer Prince, and has served as the associate director on films like Ishq Vishk and Fida.

Abhishek and Ajay previously featured together in Bol Bachchan (2012), directed by Rohit Shetty. 

Apart from Ajay Devgn Films, the movie is co-produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Anand Pandit.

The Big Bull marks the acting debut of model Lekha Prajapati. Taking to Twitter, she thanked Gulati for giving her the opportunity.
