Having said that, Sanjay has himself decided the date to begin shooting the film as according to him the date is his lucky number. A unit member revealed to a popular tabloid, "Dutt is born on July 29, so he wanted to start the new chapter of his life on that particular day. He is paying a lot of attention to his physique so that he looks good on screen. He spends almost two hours in the gym everyday."

Confirming the same, Omung said, "The first schedule of the film will get underway in Agra. It is a two-month start-to-finish schedule. As a director, it is going to be a challenge for me to work on a tight schedule, but that's what excites me about filmmaking. Teaming up with Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) is going to be awesome. His intensity on screen is just amazing. He is back as a new person, so he is going to start with a clean slate. It will be good fun to direct him."
