Released on Disney+Hotstar last year, "Khuda Haafiz" featured Jammwal as a man who races against time to rescue his kidnapped wife Nargis, played by Shivaleeka Oberoi, from flesh traders.

According to the makers, the sequel depicts an "intense love story" between Jammwal and Oberoi and aims to take the "drama and action to new heights." Jammwal said the film is an attempt to go beyond on-screen happy endings.
