More about the film and Khan's character
A source told Bollywood Hungama, "Salman Khan will be seen as a superhero who wants to hang up his cape and retire from saving the world, having grown weary of doing the same thing on repeat." "But circumstances refuse to let him live in peace and keep pulling him back into action time and again, eventually pushing him into a larger conflict."

Salman's major concern for the project
The source added that Khan is excited about the film but has one major concern- budget. "Salman's concern is the budget.
