Trivia

  • The film is an official remake of the 2003 Hollywood heist movie 'The Italian Job', which itself was a remake of a 1969 British film.
  • It was shot in multiple countries including New Zealand, Russia, and India, with the train heist sequence filmed on a specially constructed set.
  • Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh performed many of his own stunts, including a dangerous sequence where he hangs from a helicopter.
  • The film's budget was reported to be around ₹80 crore, but it was a major box office failure, recovering only a fraction of its cost.
  • A. R. Rahman composed the film's score, but the soundtrack album was not released commercially due to the film's poor performance.
  • Director Abbas (of Abbas-Mustan duo) stated the film's visual effects involved over 1,500 shots, a very high number for Bollywood at the time.
  • Despite the star cast, the movie received largely negative reviews for its lengthy runtime and similarities to the original Hollywood version.
