Announcing the film with a poster, Sanjay Dutt wrote on Instagram, "Our wait has been longer than yours but the wait is finally over, coming together with my brother Arshad Warsi for yet another exciting movie... Can't wait to show you, stay tuned!" In the poster, both Sanjay and Arshad held their heads as they stood behind bars wearing the uniform of jail inmates.

In their hit 2003 film, Munna Bhai MBBS, Arshad had played Sarkeshwar ‘Circuit’ Sharma, the sidekick of Sanjay Dutt's Murliprasad Sharma, better known as Munna Bhai. Arshad had won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for portraying Circuit, and later reprised the role in the 2006 film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Apart from the Munna Bhai series, Sanjay and Arshad have also worked together in films such as the 2007 comedy-drama Dhamaal.

As soon as Sanjay Dutt announced the film, fans took to the comments section of his post to share their excitement. They showered love and praise for the Munna Bhai duo. One wrote, “Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt) aur Circuit (Arshad Warsi) ek sath (together again).” Another fan commented, "This duo (crying emoji)." One fan wanted to know why the two were not announcing another Munna Bhai film. He wrote, "Why isn't this a Munna Bhai movie?" However, one fan was confident that Sanjay and Arshad's upcoming film will be great, and commented, "It’s going to be the best movie of all time."

Last year, in an interview, Arshad Warsi had said that he had only accepted the role of Circuit in Munna Bhai MBBS because of Sanjay Dutt. Arshad had told Indian Express in March 2022, “I did Munna Bhai because it was Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), otherwise even Raju (filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani) knows that it is it is a stupid role. It really is on paper, it was nothing. Even Makarand Deshpande had said no to Circuit!”
