The news has trade officials excited as they believe a high budget film would be able to draw in bigger crowds to the theaters.
Many believe if handled well, a superhero film of this scale in India could provide solid numbers in the box-office.
Further details on the plot, cast and others are still unknown. Fans are relieved that YRF and Ajay Devgn both have moved on from their dispute of the past.
Interestingly, eight years ago, YRF and Ajay Devgn were embroiled in an ugly battle. Ajay had alleged that YRF took away almost all screens for their Diwali 2012 film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, leaving his film Son Of Sardaar, which also released on the same day, with very few theatres.
