Now, there is talk that Ajay Kapoor of Kyta Productions is planning to produce it with Akki. The filmmaker is keen on the title, Capsule Gill, but Ajay Devgn has the rights. Devgn was supposed to play Gill in a film to be directed by Rustom (2016) director Tinu Suresh Desai. The project did not take off due to creative differences.
