The 2011 film, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, which stared Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda, was a success because of its storyline and sensual scenes.

Irrfan Khan, who will be a part of Tigmanshu Dhulia's Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster sequel, believes that a film can do well if it has a strong subject line and skin show is not needed to add to its success. He stated, "I had full faith in the subject of Saheb Biwi Gangster Returns. Also, I am in line with the makers' conviction vis-a-vis treatment of the film." Producer Rahul Mitra has also confirmed the news of sensual scenes been toned down in this sequel. He says, "Tigmanshu and Irrfan share a great rapport. When they went on floors with the film, they had a brainstorming session over the amount of skin show. Irrfan was of the opinion that with a strong script, the project required no steamy scenes." Tigmanshu added, "However, there are some romantic scenes between Irrfan and the two lead actresses Mahie Gill and Soha Ali Khan. And they have been shot aesthetically."

The movie has been shot in remote areas of Gujarat. Neha Dupia is said to be doing an item number for the film.
