The ‘Shootout’ franchise is officially stepping out of Mumbai and going international. After earlier plans to shift the narrative to Delhi, the makers have now finalised Dubai as the setting for the third film, titled ‘Shootout in Dubai’.
Following ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’ (2007) and ‘Shootout at Wadala’ (2013), which chronicled the rise of Mumbai’s underworld, the new instalment marks the franchise’s first international outing. Harshvardhan Rane is currently the only actor confirmed to headline the film.
