Action star John Abraham, who recently caught a glimpse of Nilesh Sahay's upcoming venture, Squad, was all praise for the director. "The teaser is fantastic and Nilesh has showcased the action sequences with ease. Squad is well-mounted, and I am sure that the audience will love it. Nothing like this has ever been seen [in India] before."

Sahay has not only directed Squad, but also produced, written, and edited it. He was also the co-choreographer of the stunts sequences.
