Earlier, a source had told Mumbai Mirror in a report, ''In his back story, which is a kind of prequel, Chulbul will be shown as a local goon with a heart of gold and a lengthy flashback will cover his metamorphosis into a Robin Hood cop. The conflict in the present with Sudeep is connected to his past before Chulbul got into uniform. Everything that the brand is synonymous with has been retained and adapted keeping modern-day sensibilities in mind.''

Interestingly, this date was already confirmed as the release date of Brahmastra, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Amitabh Bachchan in prominent roles. The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Karan Johar. The first part of the Brahmastra trilogy is expected to release in December 2019.
