After the release of Shahid Kapoor-starrer Phata Poster Nikhla Hero (2013), filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi turned to the chapters of Indian history to make Battle of Saragarhi. His long-in-the-works period drama, which was to feature Randeep Hooda, did not take off despite the duo's best efforts. The director then trained his focus on Bad Boy, the upcoming launch vehicle of Mithun Chakraborty's son Namashi.
