The film is based on the infamous robbery of 19-Mar-1987, when 26 people posing as income tax officials raided a famous jewellery store in Opera House, Mumbai. They had walked away with jewels worth lakhs. This incident shocked jewellers across Zaveri Bazaar. According to the sources, Neeraj waited for almost three years after A Wednesday, as he wanted Akshay Kumar for the film. Akshay will play the leader of the 26-men army in the film. His character name will interestingly be "Mr Ajay Singh".[1]
Manoj Bajpai has been roped in to play the real CBI officer,[2] and Anupam Kher will also be playing a vital role in the film.[3] Kajal Aggarwal plays a specially-written role of Mon Singh's love-interest after Asin Thottumkal rejected the role, and is the only female character in the film where 26 men pull off a daylight raid right under the cops' nose.[4]
Neeraj Pandey rocked in A Wednesday,expecting one more powerfull movie in this one too👍🏼
