"Well the preparation was done earlier on. It was just a question of getting behind the camera again and saying the three magic words-Lights, camera, action!," the actor-director said.

'Bholaa' was earlier supposed to be directed by Dharmendra Sharma, who has served as an editor on Devgn's films such as 'Son of Sardaar, 'Shivaay', and 'Bhuj: The Pride of India'.

'Bholaa' is produced by Ajay Devgn Films, T-Series Films, Reliance Entertainment and Dream Warrior Pictures. It will hit the theatres on March 30, 2023.
