If the reports are to be believed, then with Shetty's film, both Bachchan and Khan will reunite after 12 years. They last worked together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus "Devdas". 

As per another report, the filmmaker was keen to bring the hit couple - Khan and Bachchan together as they have not shared the screen space for quite sometime and it would be a visual treat for the audience who wishes to see the on-screen couple together. Khan and Bachchan have also worked in Yash Raj Production's superhit "Mohabbatein".
