'Comparisons with Aankhen are unavoidable': Shah
Shah said, "After Aankhen, I always wanted to make another film on a bank heist, but I was not getting the right idea." "Hisaab is as unique a story as Aankhen was - a kind of heist film that India has not seen before. It's taken us a long time to write it." "Comparisons with Aankhen are unavoidable...we wanted to make something that had strong content."
