Arjun Rampal is expected to head to this action film after completing the remaining portions of The Battle of Bhima Koregaon which was delayed due to the second COVID-19 lockdown early this year.

Vidyut Jammwal is reportedly producing a broad range of diverse and impactful films under his banner Action Hero Films. He is said to be co-producing two feature films in the partnership with Reliance Entertainment — Tinu Suresh Desai's remake of French film Largo Winch, and Sankalp Reddy's espionage thriller titled IB 71. His film with Arjun Rampal film is said to be one of them. Jammwal is also developing a script on poaching and recently sanctioned a rom-com that explores the journey of a girl in her late 20s who goes through the whole rigamarole of the men she needs to meet for her marriage. On the release front, Jammwal will next be seen in Kanishk Varma's action-thriller Sanak that summarizes the emotion and journey of a lone hero who fights overwhelming odds, in a restricted environment, to save his wife and other unfortunate, helpless hostages, from the perils of evil.
