Sanjay Dutt will be seen as the main lead, playing the patriarch of a powerful political dynasty. Victoria and Abdul actor, Ali Fazal will be playing the Munnabhai actor's son, whereas Amyra is all set to play the former's love interest. The film, like the original, will be a political drama, save for a few changes in the script as Deva wants to cater to the pan-Indian audience.
