Dhar, who made her web debut with Bang Baaja Baaraat, was last seen in Commando 3 (2019). Delighted to join the cast of Mayday, she says, "[I am] thrilled and excited to share the screen with the true legends of our film industry - Amitabh and Ajay sir. Mayday is going to be one hell of a ride. Can't wait to be directed by Mr Devgn himself!"

Produced by Ajay Devgn Ffilms, the movie will feature Devgn as a pilot, while Singh will essay the role of his co-pilot. The Tanhaji actor, who is currently waiting for the release of his next film Bhuj: The Pride of India, also has six other films in the pipeline.
