During Pinkvilla's Masterclass, Sunny expressed his desire to reunite with Shah Rukh when he was asked with whom he would like to do a two-hero film. Sunny noted that the film industry has changed, and directors no longer have the same level of control over character arcs, making it a good time for a potential collaboration.

Sunny said, “Aise decide karna kiske saath karunga nahi (To decide like this with whom I’d do it or not)… I mean, I would love to do it. I think anyone who is… Shah Rukh ke saath ek hi film ki thi. Toh ek aur kar sakte hain (I did only one film with Shah Rukh. So we can do another). It would be nice because that was a different period, and now it’s a different period, so definitely”.

Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan were said to have had a falling out after Shah Rukh’s villainous character was given a more favourable portrayal in their 1993 film Darr. Sunny was unhappy with how Shah Rukh's character of a stalker was glorified in Darr when he was the actual ‘hero’. It is believed that Sunny and Shah Rukh didn’t speak to each other for 16 years. During an appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny said, “At the end of the day, people loved me in the film. They loved Shah Rukh Khan as well. My only issue with the film was that I did not know they would glorify the villain. I always work in films with an open heart and believe the person. I believe in working with trust. Unfortunately, we have many actors and stars who don’t function in this manner. Maybe that’s the way they want to get their stardom.”
