A source revealed to Mumbai Mirror, “The post-production is taking longer than expected since the film is high on the action with multiple racing scenes. Since the bar of action has been raised by both Bollywood and Hollywood spectacles in the last couple of years, the visual effects team is taking its time to get the scale right.”

Touted as a fast-paced action entertainer, it was supposed to start a franchise. This is the first time Sushant Singh Rajput is doing a movie with Dharma. Jacqueline Fernandez had played the female lead in a Dharma movie, Brothers, where she played Akshay Kumar's wife. They are also pairing up for the first time in the movie. Both Sushant and Jacqueline are reportedly playing street racers in the movie and will be involved in some exciting action sequences. Drive: Sushant Singh Rajput-Jacqueline Fernandez's Action Thriller in Trouble Over An Item Song?
