The original film was directed by Basu Chatterjee, which had Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt, A. K. Hangal, Rati Agnihotri and Mithun Chakraborty.
After releasing the trailer, Akshay Kumar told reporters, “I am playing myself in the film and the only thing that was added in my character was that I was shown as an alcoholic in the movie which is different from my real life character. I had a great time shooting for this film,”
During the occasion, Anupam Kher said, “This film is a tribute to the original film. We hope this film is taken further and runs next 25 years.”
