On casting Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the film, Ali said the decision was made keeping in the script of the film. It demanded two action stars, which is why Akshay and Tiger are headlining his latest movie.

“What is most important is that you should be honest that you are not making a project but you are making a film that stars will do justice to. The script needs to cast the actors. I work on the script first, then take it to the actors,” he told PTI.

Ali Abbas Zafar wants to collaborate with Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan

Ali shared that he wants to work with Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn on different kinds of films. His primary objective, the director said, is to develop a unique kind of action movie that challenges each of these superstars.

“Like, Sultan is a sports drama, but it also has action. You have to make an action film for every different actor which is customised for them or brings them out of their comfort zone. It's a dream for any director to work with all those guys. They've been here for 30-35 years, and the kind of fan base that they have is amazing. So, let's see, fingers crossed,” he added.

Ali will also be working on an action film with Katrina Kaif in the coming time.
