Somehow they didn't materialise and it took this film to come together and this is the first time that the Zee Studios have collaborated with both director and actor.[11] Kapoor reduced his remuneration for the film and was reported to receive ₹25 crore (US$3.1 million) as actor's remuneration.[12]

Pre-production

Casting

Shahid Kapoor plays the role of a police officer in the film,[23] and sported a short hairstyle for his character, similar to his look in Haider (2014).[24] He said he is playing "a very hard character" in the film.[25] In May 2023, Pooja Hegde was reported to be the lead actress,[26] and her inclusion was confirmed by makers on 13 October 2023, on Hegde's birthday.[27] The makers wanted "a fresh casting" and finalised Hegde, marking her maiden collaboration with both Rosshan and Kapoor.[28]

Kubbra Sait joined the cast in early-November 2023,[29] and would play police officer role.[30] The film marks her second collaboration with Kapoor, after web series Farzi.[2] For her character, she underwent training for three months during the project's pre-production process, and also went through a workshop in Mumbai.[31] In late-November, Pavail Gulati joined the cast,[32] marking his first action film.[33] Gulati felt his role "demands physical and mental dedication".[34] For that he attended a special workshop in January 2024, in order to train physically and intensively for his role in the film.[35] For some challenging scenes involving hand-to-hand combat scenes featuring Gulati, Rosshan initially considered hiring a body double, but said he felt the body double's work was inauthentic and did it himself.[36]
