Ranveer always delivers, hopefully movie will deliver and does him justice.

Although I don't think that there is something like extortion, I still think that Yami isn't wrong in pointing to the fact that the review-culture relative to the Hindi filmindustry has started to harm the filmindustry itself. Some years ago, we didn't make any attention to the advance booking in a review thread, now those numbers also get an importance they don't deserve (imo).

It may have been a bit late that Jio & Dhar decided to make a 2 part movie out of the material, now each part not too long (personally I think that it is a good decision as they have a very intense story to tell where the intertwining of politics, underworld and terrorism is the main subject). Although I don't know in which way the fictional Ranveer character is there to involve Indian spy work, but the Pakistani angle is based on/inspired by real incidents that happened in Pakistan (Operation Lyari around 2012) and Arjun, Sanjay, Akshaye (and Madhavan?) play characters that mirror real persons involved in that crackdown of a criminal web.

(for those interested, Google helps...and then, I also found this link with several articles about the operation: https://www.dawn.com/2012/04/29/police-using-rival-gangsters-in-lyari-operation/
