Dutt revealed that the concept for Khalnayak Returns took shape during his time in prison in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. "I asked around 4,000 inmates if they were interested in a sequel to Khal Nayak, and the response was overwhelming," Dutt recalled.

Ghai, whom Dutt described as a "legend and man of entertainment," will be a key part of the upcoming project.
