However, the reports turned out to be false. A reporter from Bollywood Hungama questioned Anees about the rumored collaboration and the film shared that there's no truth to it.

Bazmee said, "This is news to me. I am directing a film with Salman Khan, and I don’t even know about it? Perhaps those who wrote this report can inform me when I will be reaching the set and also when it gets released, so I can keep myself free…No seriously, there is no such talk.”

Bazmee further talked about how he and Salman are on good term and that he'd love to do a film with him. He said, "We go back a long way. Salman Bhai did a guest appearance in my film No Entry 16 years ago. His character and the film were a hit. We then did Ready which was also a rage. Since then we haven’t had the chance to work together. I’d love to work with him again, but right now there is no project on the anvil.”
