Balaji’s keenly awaited Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara (featuring Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan & Sonakshi Sinha) may not star Ajay Devgn or Emraan Hashmi but the actors will find a special mention at the beginning of the film.

Tanuj Garg, CEO- Balaji Motion Pictures, confirms, “We will give a special thank you to Ajay and Emraan, as they are integral to the franchise.”
