Speaking to a daily, a source revealed, "There is a huge list of cricketers that will put any IPL team. Cricketers like ex England captain Nassir Hussain, New Zealand`s Brendon McCullum, South African dashing opener Hershelle Gibbs, IPL`s most expensive player Kieron Pollard, the controversial Andrews Symonds, Pakistani wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal, Sri Lankan`s Tilakratne Dilshan, England`s legendary Graham Gooch, Pakistan`s Wasim Akram, and Australia`s Mathew Hayden are all part of the cricket matches that feature Akshay as one of the team members."

However, director Nikhil Advani maintained that the film is actually about a strained relationship between a father and son and that cricket is the main reason for their conflict.
