In an interview, Paresh said of reuniting with Akshay and Suniel Shetty, “Meeting them felt like ghar wapsi” (returning home). It’s always a pleasure to work with Akshay and Suniel. They accomplished actors who are not self-conscious about their work. We have a mutual admiration. Our on-screen chemistry reflects our off-screen friendship.”

He added, “We’ll begin shooting in three months. It will be a [long] schedule in Mumbai. The movie will also shot in international locations like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Los Angeles, as Babu bhaiyya, Raju and Shyam go abroad. They’ll do hera pheri globally.” The veteran actor also went on to say that initially, “both Kartik and Akshay were to do the film, but it didn’t work out. I don’t know what happened.”
