Production
This will be Salman Khan's first venture with Yashraj Films, whereas his father, Salim Khan, has written Trishul (1978), Kaala Patthar (1979) earlier for the banner. Also, director Kabir Khan teams up with Katrina Kaif and Aseem Mishra again after the successful New York. Initially, Pritam was signed as the composer of the film. However, later he opted out of the film, citing date problems with both Yash Raj projects Ek Tha Tiger and Dhoom 3. Thus, Aditya Chopra being impressed by composer Sohail Sen's work in their recent venture Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, roped him to compose for the film.[4] The fee of Salman for 'Ek Tha Tiger' was reportedly ₹60Crore plus % of profit.[5]

The lyrics will be penned by Neelesh Misra.[11] A song titled Jaaniyan which had vocals by Bilawal Baloch, a Pakistani artist was reported to have been leaked from the film's soundtrack. However, YRF officials denied the news, saying that the album was not in any danger of being leaked.[12]
