From the iconic characters to pitch-perfect comic timing, the whole franchise shows Shetty's mettle in comedy and action. The ensemble of actors is loved by everyone.
Anticipation
Other successful collaborations
Shetty has been one of the most bankable directors in the country. He has given huge box office successes and probably his recent debacle Cirkus is his only box office failure.

Hence, their newly announced film is likely to mark Shetty's glorious comeback at the box office.
