The gangster drama will see Salman sharing the screen space with his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma for the very first time. Reportedly, the film, which was initially titled Guns Of North, has been renamed as Antim signifying the end of gangsters.

A while ago, it was rumoured that Salman has opted out of the project as an actor. However, clarifying the same, the source said after discussions and script meetings, the team locked a story that does justice to Salman's presence. He is reportedly back on board. "Over the last few weeks, after several script meetings at his Panvel farmhouse during which various adaptations were considered, the team has locked a version which can justify Salman’s presence and he’s back in the picture. Now, his character is very important to the narrative. It will present him in a new avatar, more real, intense and raw, along with his usual herogiri," the source said.
