Talking about the film, Ali says, "With Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan behind me, I'm more nervous for my next one because I know the expectations and anticipations will be really, really high." "It is a very different film from my earlier ventures. We are trying to do something new with it. It's too early to talk about it," he added.

It was Katrina Kaif who had introduced Ali to Salman. Ali made his directorial debut with Katrina starrer 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan'. "My first ever meeting with him was through Katrina. We went to his house, somewhere in 2010-2011. We had a chat about life and world but not about cinema. He asked me where do I come from, what I want to do," Ali said.
