How this developed
The scale, the action, the world they’ve created, it’s all very grand. I really enjoyed being part of a project that brings together different cultures and film industries,” he added. “It’s fresh, it’s entertaining and it’s the kind of film you want to experience in a theatre.

Because of its theatrical scale and entertainment value, the 60-year-old actor said he believed the film would appeal to Indian audiences.
Turki and the team have backed it on a huge scale, and Adil and Bilall have brought their experience of making international action films into it,” Salman said in a statement. It has a truly international feel, and I’m happy to have been a part of it,” he said. The film’s action and stunt sequences have been developed with the involvement of 87Eleven, the action and stunt company associated with the “John Wick” franchise. Veteran stunt designer Stephen Dunlevy, whose credits include “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “John Wick”, leads the film’s action and stunt design.
“What I also found exciting was seeing the ambition and energy of Arab cinema today, and how it is opening itself up to a global audience without losing its own identity.
