The director takes inspiration from real life organized crime activities that used to happen in Mumbai for his films. Now according to reports, he is now working on the third installment of the 'Shootout' franchise. Previous films, 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' and 'Shootout at Wadala' were very successful and based on real incidents.
