Supported by Shabana Azmi, Atul Kulkarni, Jackie Shroff and Chandan Roy Sanyal, the film promises to deliver on many counts.

Nittin and Akash say, "Jazbaais a cool action thriller with an ensemble cast. Aishwarya and Irrfan's quirky pairing along with powerhouse performers like Shabana Azmi, Atul Kulkarni, Jackie Shroff, Chandan Roy Sanyal amongst others have been the talk of the town ever since we announced the film. From action and car chases to court room suspense, Aishwarya does it all in this film. Irrfan's amazing one-liners have been applauded by everyone. The music scores of'Bandeyaa'and the recently released Baadshah track'Aaj raat ka scene'are chart toppers."

Sachiin adds, "Audiences are definitely going to love the intrigue factor with the various twists and turns. With the pairing of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Irrfan, people are in for a treat. They would come out with a positive feeling on a very realistic subject."
