Produced by Yash Raj Films, it features Kapoor as a dacoit , a character that Kapoor has not explored in his previous films. In May 2018, director Karan Malhotra roped in Sanjay Dutt to play the villain in the film. This will mark Dutt’s first film under the Yash Raj banner.

Therefore his nemesis, the villain had to be even more fierce and monumental in every aspect. Who better than Sanjay sir to give us that impact on screen?” [caption id=“attachment_4662751” align=“alignleft” width=“825”]  File image of Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt[/caption] Kapoor is paired with Befikre actress Vaani Kapoor, who plays a travelling performer in the film, making it the first on-screen collaboration between the two actors.
