The film is expected to retain the essence of the original while incorporating modern cinematic elements. Dutt hinted that the story would address unresolved threads and introduce fresh conflicts.
Fans have long speculated about a follow-up to 'Khalnayak,' which remains one of Dutt's most iconic performances.
