The feature film marks Ajay and Bazmee’s fourth collaboration. The duo previously worked together on films like Hulchul, a 1995 action thriller, romantic-comedy Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha (1998), and the 2002 psychological thriller Deewange.
Why Naam was delayed
According to a press release issued by the makers, the action-drama entertainer was shot in 2014 but delayed due to the death of one of the producers. According to trade sources, the film was stuck in limbo for the longest time, unable to find distributors. The film will now be released, having found the backing of financiers and distributors.
But before that, Ajay will reprise his iconic role of Bajirao Singham in Singham Again. The film is part of director Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe. The Avengers-style crossover film also stars Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor.
Bazmee, on the other hand, is returning with the horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stars Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Vidya Balan. Both the films will be released in theatres on November 1.
