The 64-year-old actor too does not know when the film will see the light of day.

"I don't know when it'll come. They are all waiting because it is a big film. So they will wait for the cinema halls to open. Theatre experience is different."

The film revolves around Veer Sooryavanshi, the chief of the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad, and his team who join forces with Inspector Sangram Bhalerao and DCP Bajirao Singham to stop a terrorist group planning to attack Mumbai.
