While the film was initially scheduled for release on Independence Day, it has been postponed to Diwali, as announced by the filmmakers on social media.
The collaboration between Shetty and Devgn began in the 1990s when Shetty served as an assistant director on Devgn's debut film, Phool Aur Kaante. Their partnership has flourished with numerous successful films, including Suhaag, Haqeeqat, Zulmi, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, and Hindustan Ki Kasam.
