The film is helmed by Aditya Datt. Speaking about his career in Bollywood so far, and working in the Commando franchise, Jammwal told Mid-Day, “People told me that models cannot act, and an actor from a non-filmy background will only survive if he delivers a Rs 100 crore hit. I have proved them wrong. When I did the first movie, I didn’t think that we’d come out with another. Now, I feel that this franchise will not stop.”
