On casting the duo in his film, Trehan said, about casting the two, of course you choose an actor or actors, because they will be able to portray the roles well, and do justice to their characters. That’s the same rule for every film and a case for every filmmaker.”

From what we know, the film will be based on the life of a female gangster Sapna Didi who had planned Dawood Ibrahim’s execution during a cricket match in Sharjah to avenge her husband Mehmood Kaliya’s death. Unfortunately for her, Dawood had already known of her plans, and killed her days before she could get to him.
