Production
[edit]Initial cast announced in 2011 included Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Prakash Raj. Release was scheduled for 2012.[5] In May 2012, Hindi film website Bollywood Hungama reported that the director had approached Subhash Ghai after producer Fauzia refused to increase the film's budget by ₹6 crore (equivalent to ₹11 crore or US$1.3 million in 2023).[6] Claims regarding the film being shelved were rejected by the film's cast and director.[7] Ghai also denied that he was producing the film.[8] In July of the same year, Kapoor left the project due to schedule conflicts with Shootout at Wadala and Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum. Initially Zinta was removed from the cast due to unavailability of dates on her side.[9] Shreyas Talpade replaced Kapoor.[10]
In April 2013, Zinta confirmed her participation in the production.[11] She plays the don's wife.[12] A 45–days long shooting schedule, beginning in September 2013, was conducted in Udaipur, Rajasthan.[13] Reportedly, in November 2013, there was a dispute between producer Mahendra Dhariwal and Deol. The latter wanted his remuneration before dubbing. Deol gave him the option that they could release the film under the banner of his production company Vijayta Films. Dharival consulted action director Tinu Verma, who advised that Deol should be paid and the project should be completed.[14] However, shooting of a few of Zinta's scenes was delayed due to her involvement with the Indian Premier League.[15] Kharaj Mukherjee will play the role of a police inspector. The director narrated the story to him over phone and he quickly agreed to join the project.[16] Evelyn Sharma learnt Hindi by taking lessons for 2 hours a day. She also requested her friends to use only Hindi while conversing with her.[17] Deol will play a double role. The project was stalled for 4 years before June 2015, when it was reported that filming would resume in July 2015. It is scheduled for release in October 2018.[18]
