Having seen together earlier in films like Speedy Singh, Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher who will be seen together in Neeraj Pandey's Special Chabbis, seems to have grown closer after this film.

On the sets, Akshay claims that though he knew Anupam for a long time,. It was only while shooting for this heist drama, that the two grew closers. Adding that he enjoys working with him, the actor adds that earlier they used to talk just one a year, but now the two talk at least thrice a week.

In the film that is based on a real life jewellery heist, Akshay will be seen playing a CBI officer. Also starring Kajal Aggarwal, Jimmy Shergill and Manoj Bajpai, the film will release on February 8.
