Talking about the delay, Madhur Bhandarkar said, “Right now, the script of the film is definitely there. But I still haven’t revisited it because I was busy with India Lockdown and Babli Bouncer. Now when I release those two films this year, I’ll revisit them and see (how it goes).”
Talking about the Ghalib character, Madhur Bhandarkar said, “I have two scripts ready, including this one. From 2018-2019 I was working on three scripts, but suddenly the lockdown happened. Now I will revisit next year, let me see who my Ghalib will be. He is a very flamboyant, humorous character that comes out. At the same time, it has a very elaborate action, which adds a different dynamic to the film. It’s a completely different change for me too. After watching the trailer of Babli Bouncer, I was like, ‘Oh, you’ve done a film like this’, so I don’t know what’s going to happen after Ghalib.”
