Says a source, "Shabbir has acted in Shootout At Lokhandwala and Mission Istanbul. Their friendship goes a long way."

Stating that making Zanjeer 2.0 has been a huge learning experience, Shabbir adds, "Since this film is my first as producer, I thought what better than to get Apoorva as director. Getting the project together has been a wonderful experience."
