At first Abbas-Mustan were hesitant, but after watching the 2003 remake of The Italian Job they decided it would be a good idea to Indianise it.

They spent around a year working on the script and making a few tweaks including two new characters, played by Basu and Deol. Casting Bachchan was the first actor to be signed, along with and Neil Nitin Mukesh, to play the roles originally played by, and in.

Mukesh was approached for the, as the directors were impressed by his performance in (2007). Rumours circulated of different names being linked and approached including, who opted out due to date problems, to supposedly being called in to replace her. And had also been approached to play the leading female roles opposite and.

Khanna later claimed he was never approached and expressed disappointment in not being cast. Kapoor left the film out due to problems with the. Was also backed out, as she just like Chopra felt 'the female lead does not have a strong part to play'. Chopra was eventually dropped in a controversial matter, citing differences with Bachchan and the directors.

Later Abbas Mustan claimed that the film was never offered to Chopra. At one point the film had no three male leads and no female lead, which caused the directors to panic, after Kaif also backed out due to date problems. As the directors wanted a younger girl she was eventually replaced by Sonam Kapoor. Kapoor walked out of the film, as the director she was working with on another film titled, asked to concentrate solely on his film. However, she was signed again, as she managed to a lot dates, but due to heavy pressure from both projects, she passed out on the sets of Mausam.

Rumours circulated that Mukesh had been dropped, due to the poor commercial business of his (2010), although it had been a profitable venture. He later slammed the rumours saying 'Arrey issme real ya unreal status ki kya baat hai? (There is no question of real and unreal status) It's sad that I am giving clarification on this when the fact is that I am already preparing for my role. The film is pretty much on and I am also not going anywhere'. As Basu was approached, she immediately agreed after she read the script and was 'blown away' by it. She had previously worked with Abbas-Mustan in her debut film (2001) and in (2008). Veteran actor Vinod Khanna made a comeback since his cameo appearance in (2010), and was chosen to play a small but key role as the mastermind of the heist over the likes of other Indian senior actors, and.

Aftab Shivdasani was roped in to play a guest. It was Abbas Mustan's first time working with all the actors except for Basu and Deol, who they had previously cast together in Ajnabee. The latter in five films, along with Johnny Lever who has played minor roles in all but two of their films. It was also the second pairing of Bachchan and Kapoor, who reunited after (2009). Bachchan had also worked with Basu and Sikandar Kher (son of actors and ) in (2006) and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey respectively. Pre Production Before could being, the entire cast underwent to the requirement of the roles they were playing.

Bachchan was required to tone up the most as he was the lead character and had to perform dangerous train stunts. For her role Kapoor, was required to learn to drive a car, although she had no previous experience.

She practised in the small lanes of and after reassurance from her father to the directors, Kapoor drove, only to crash the car. Abbas Burmawalla commented on this 'Our action director Allan Amin felt that she should get comfortable zipping around in the Mini Cooper. So about 10 days before we started shooting, Sonam started practicing driving the Mini. However, on the first day, she accelerated while reversing, and banged into a lamppost'.

Basu was required to wear a bikini during one of the songs, had gained weight during the year and worked with personal trainer Paul Britto, to ensure the perfect body. Her regime included with, and. Shweta Bhardwaj, who was playing a pivotal character in the film, was also required to physically tone up for an entirely different bikini scene. One of the three used in the production, (this one was driven by in the film) on location in, New Zealand Filming in India, mainly in, began on 9 November 2010 and continued until the end of December 2010.

The song 'Buddhi Do Bhagwaan' was filmed on in Goa. The second phase of filming began in New Zealand in mid January 2011, in locations across and. Closed some areas of the city centre for two weeks so there would be no problems in shooting.

Scenes were shot across the, on New Zealand's South Island, and in the Tulsi Indian restaurant. The replication of the 'Mini Coopers' scene from the 2003 version of The Italian Job was filmed at, which Bachchan had difficulty with due to his height, as he could not get in and out of the cars quickly. There was some controversy when airport officials refused to give permission for filming when they felt it was dangerous; the scene required a plane to overfly three Minis, which were being driven by Bachchan, Kapoor and Kher, and miss by inches. The traffic jam sequence involving the Minis was also shot in Wellington. Sixth months before shooting had commenced in New Zealand, Abbas Mustan met with the Tourism Board and Film Council in Wellington and they put up LED signs, to notify local residents of the street closure during that weekend. The crew finished shooting and left New Zealand just days before hit the country. The third schedule of shooting, which was the longest and most important, began on April 2011 in parts of, and.

For the shooting in Siberia, the directors had a lot of difficulty acquiring permission. Similarly they had also faced several problems during the shooting in new Zealand. Describing this ordeal Mustan Burmawalla said 'We had to seek lot of permissions for a traffic jam scene to be shot in New Zealand and that took a long time. While, in Russia we faced language problem, we appointed about 25 interpreters. We needed them to help us about basic things like where to go to eat etc,'. Due to the difficulty allotting dates, Bachchan had to leave another project by titled, whom Varma would later blame for the dismal performance of the film at the box office.

The sequences involving the train were directed by winning, stunt director. Bachchan refused to have a for the scenes and performed all the dangerous stunts himself. During the sequence, he had to balance himself atop two trains which were travelling at approximately 100 km/h.

He hit his head on a rod on top of the train, but still managed to complete the scene. During another scene Bachchan was left hanging by a rack on the train for around 20 hours. While filming took place there, a group of Russian soldiers learnt that an Indian film was shooting nearby and joined the crew on the sets and requested to meet all the stars. Some of the scenes were filmed close to the, and at the, which was the first time a Bollywood film had been filmed there. However a slight problem arose; no food was available because of the extremely cold climate and everyone had to manage on packets of soups. Shooting in Russia ended in late July 2011.

The cast flew back to India, finalised a few last minute shots and songs, before the film went into the stage. 'Our brother (editor) Hussain Burmawala took six-and-a-half months to finish the editing.

This was our most difficult film to edit. Believe it or not, the film was always shot with multi-camera setups.

At times, there used to be six and even seven cameras capturing the action scenes.' On the work done by Hussain Burmawala The release of Players was repeatedly delayed; it was initially planned for a release but the film was not completed in time, as the story demanded extensive filming of action scenes.

Hussain Burmawala took six-and-a-half months to complete the editing, which is the longest time taken for any Indian film to be edited. The release was expected on 9 December 2011 alongside and but was further delayed until 26 December, to make more time for promotions.

Bachchan requested that the film was released at a later date as he wanted to avoid a clash with 's. Players was finally released on 6 January 2012, making it the first released. Pre-release Before its release, Players garnered a lot of curiosity from Bollywood movie buffs and critics, ever since the first preview which generated a positive response from the audience. The directors Abbas-Mustan, who are known for their adaptations of films into Indian-esque classic thrillers, returned to direction after quite some time.

They had promised to break the boundaries of the action genre, as the major action stunts and sequences in the film were performed on par with Hollywood by the actors themselves. This is rarely seen or done in Bollywood. Kapoor who had previously played mostly type roles, brought a completely different look to her previous films, which attracted positive attention and was tagged as 'sexy' by the media once the films promo's released. Another reason the film had created curiosity was because none of the actors expect Basu had enjoyed much box office success, while the rest were relative newcomers. Bachchan, who had been in the industry for over 10 years, had endured a series of flops, in spite of this the directors were confident of him. Players was named as one of the most-awaited films of 2012 by, and. Promotion The first look at the film, along with and an extended was revealed on 3 November 2011, on, which featured Abhishek's father, as the host.

Amitabh Bachchan also helped to promote the film on his blog and feed. The theatrical trailer was also released on 3 November 2011, on the movie's official channel and page. Players had an extended schedule since its release was delayed for an extra month.

Promotion for the film was orchestrated by using tactics never seen before. The campaign began at the music launch on 13 December 2011, where the team promoted the film in a first event of its kind, as the lead actors Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol, Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Sikandar Kher and Omi Vaidya performed live stunts.

Deol, who played an illusionist in the film, performed the opening act as he disappeared from two different towers. Kapoor drove an armoured truck through a golden brick wall and then drove around the arena. She was followed by Kher, who according to his role of an explosives expert, set off multiple explosions with a remote control, throwing a car 40 feet into the air before it hit another car, blowing both cars up. Vaidya and Mukesh spoke some dialogues from the film. Bachchan was followed in a car by Basu on a pillion as they both drove through a ring of fire and blew a bus up.

Bachchan fractured one of his fingers during the stunt when he drove a car through a sheet of glass and performed the and a. Promotion continued at various airports and railway stations like the where Bachchan, Mukesh and Kapoor fabricated a train heist similar to the one in the film, after which they travelled inside the Metro, followed by a media interaction and later gave away some merchandise from the film. At, the actors spoke about their characters and signed autographs. Players was also promoted elsewhere in India, such as the Ambience Mall and the. Kapoor featured as a guest on 's and Bachchan promoted the film on 's show Love 2 Hate U, where he met his biggest hater. Kapoor and Mukesh also appeared on reality show 's during the semi finals, four days before Players was released. Players was heavily promoted in London with help from the cast of the 2003 remake of The Italian Job, including, and the director.

The film was released in UK cinemas. The producers of Players held 'Go for Gold' competitions where the winner would meet the cast and spend a day with them. Premiere Players had its worldwide in Dubai on 4 January 2012.

Kapoor caused controversy over the outfit she had worn during the premiere, giving her a busty look and was verbally attacked by Fashion bloggers. Reception Critical reception Players received a mixed reception from. Joginder Tuteja from IndiaGlitz gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said 'Fantastic - That's what you end up exclaiming once the last twist of Players takes you by complete surprise. Oh yes, there are around half a dozen or more twists in this film, something which was pretty much expected since the men at the helm of affairs are Abbas-Mustan'. From wrote, ' Players does a first-rate job of adapting The Italian Job. It's slick and well-written, eye-catching and intelligent, witty and delectable. It beats every other action-adventure flick in recent history'.

Also gave a positive review, and said that, ' Players electrifies movie buffs with its hi-voltage action. The highlights of the movie are wonderful performances by the lead actors, stylised stunts, adrenaline-pumping chases, stunning visuals, Pritam's songs and comic sequences. But the editing work is a big let down'. Of gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, 'Music by Pritam is good while it lasts. Some editing sorely needed, visual imagery quite polished, and the look as usual is of new age Bollywood.'

Rated it 3 out of 5 and said, 'Direction by Abbas-Mustan, cinematography and an edgy plotline are the strong points. Music, dialogues and performances (besides Bipasha and Neil's performance) are the weak points'.

Piyali Dasgupta from gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said, ' Players ends up as a fun weekend flick, especially for action buffs. Abhishek Bachchan shows some of the style of the. Neil Nitin Mukesh, largely off the radar after an intense performance. Bipasha too shows a hint of Race with her glamourous role and that red bikini. Sonam Kapoor somewhat redeems herself as an actor playing the good geek Naina. But don't expect much from Pritam’s music.'

Gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said, 'Abbas Mustan’s ' Players' is a slick, fast paced and racy thriller. Technically the film is brilliant, but when it comes to drama and emotions, the film falls flat on its face. In comparison to The Italian Job, Players’ is long and overstretched. Kaveree Bamzai of also gave it 3 out of 5. Players also received a number of negative reviews.

From Bollywood Hungama gave it 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, 'On the whole, Players rides mainly on the clout of its credible director duo Abbas-Mustan, daredevil stunts and stunning visuals. But, most importantly, it is deficient of a captivating screenplay'. Of rated it 2 out of 5 and wrote, ' Players is a fastpaced khichdi. Abhishek Bachchan is earnest, and thankfully dials down his trademark smugness to play the ringleader of the team. Neil Nitin Mukesh gets some interesting scenes to sink his teeth into.

Bipasha Basu fills out a bikini nicely, but poor Sonam Kapoor changes her costumes and her hairstyle more frequently than her expressions. What could have been a satisfying entertainer doesn't quite achieve its potential. Karan Anshuman of the gave it 2 out of 5 stars. Aniruddha Guha from awarded it 2 out of 5 and wrote, 'The writing is juvenile, the dialogues a joke, the acting over-the-top, yet everyone seems to be taking themselves so seriously'. Sukanya Verma of also gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, ' Players is lacklustre and unimaginative'.

Of the gave it 1.5 out of 5. From Koimoi rated it 1 out of 5 and wrote, 'Whats good? The train robbery sequence; some comedy in the second half; Omi Vaidya and Neil Nitin Mukesh’s acting. The loose and uninteresting screenplay; the poor music; the dull acting of Abhishek, Sonam and Bobby'. Gave the film a rating of 'Game Over' and said that, 'the remake of 'The Italian Job is definitely a job taken not so seriously'. Box office India Players had a wide release of over 2000 prints, but despite the film having an extensive promotion schedule it only opened to around 35-40% occupancy, as it failed to make any headway over the weekend, grossing ₹148 million (US$2.3 million).

Joginder Tuteja of gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, ' Players' delivers what one expected from it. The need of the situation was to have a racy score that compliments the fast paced story telling of Abbas-Mustan. The song which has the most potential is 'Dil Ye Bekarar Kyun Hai', others would work as instant coffee that would keep the momentum up for the film's narrative'. Satyajit from Glamsham gave it 3 out of 5 and said, ' Players, a stylish packed hi-voltage action thriller has cool and reasonably good listening soundtrack to its credit. As anticipated from its huge expectations, it proves to be an above average affair but lacks the zing and zeal of being 'spectacular' or 'earth-shattering' like the composer's previous works in this genre (, and Race), which have been big successes in their respective years of release'. Vanessa Barnes of Bolly Spice awarded it 2.5 out of 5 and wrote, 'Pritam has created exactly the type of soundtrack to perfectly fit and complement the material onscreen.

I think that in conjunction with visuals, some of which we’ve already had a taste of in the promising, well-received trailer – the songs will be effective. The bad news? I think as a whole, listened to on its own, the album is pretty average – and if you don’t like auto-tune, or excessive remixes, steer well clear'. Sukanya Verma from also gave the album 2.5 out of 5 stars and said, 'After four very popular albums this year, and, Pritam dishes out yet another album that is a mix of sure-shot winners and drab space fillers.' Remix Plans.

'Tamma Tamma Loge' was really in contention. Since it sounds quite similar to 'Jumma Chumma' (both songs were actually based on 's 'Tama Tama'), it was a no brainer to work on either of the two. However, the decision was soon reversed as much time had already been spent in contemplation and multi city promotional tour was keeping the cast busy as well. Abhishek, Sonam, Bipasha and Neil have been travelling extensively and it would have been impossible to shoot the song, edit, promote and then include in the final print'. (Players ) Because the album received mixed reviews from critics, Viacom 18 and T-Series decided that Pritam's score had not lived up to the audience’s expectations as well as Abbas-Mustan's reputation of having hit music in their films.

Pritam's last work with director duo in Race (2008) had sold well and helped the film's initial run at the box office and they decided to remix the hit song Jumma Chumma from Bachchan's father Amitabh Bachchan's hit film (1991). However Abbas-Mustan were not very keen on this, causing tension between them and the producers. There were also plans to remix the song Tamma Tamma Loge from 's (1990), but plans to remix the song were scrapped as there was less than two weeks before the release of the film. Controversies. 'There was damage to some locations.

They worked 30 something, 32 days on the trot. That's a safety concern in itself. Making it easier isn't necessarily the best approach. What we need to do is find a way to get the two industries to work together, because they have quite a different way of working from us.' -President of the New Zealand Film Technicians, Guild Alun Bollinger During the shooting in New Zealand, authorities at an airport refused to give permission to film a scene, having decided it was too dangerous. An aeroplane was to fly a few inches above three cars, which were being driven by Bachchan, Kapoor and Kher.

The stunt directors Mark and rehearsed the scene and the airport authorities finally gave permission because it was an important scene. The and the local film crew were also unhappy and claimed the crew of Players had disregarded New Zealand laws and cared little for health and safety concerns, took months to pay invoices and damaged some locations., the, had declared tax breaks for Bollywood films shooting in New Zealand to attract more film-makers. After Players did well at the New Zealand box office, laws allowing more film crews and actors to shoot there were to be enacted, causing concerns among the New Zealand people and authorities.

Initially the way Chopra left the project, was deemed controversial, as it was said that the directors had been directly influenced by Bachchan. Bachchan and Chopra had previously starred together in several films, including directed by, Bachchan's long time family friend. It was reported that Chopra had refused to star in another one of his film, due to this Bachchan had asked her to be dropped.

However Abbas Burmawalla cleared Bachchan's name, saying 'The star cast of The Italian Job was finalized long time back. We had signed Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif in the first go and Katrina was always our first choice so there was no question of talking to Priyanka Chopra. She was never approached or spoken to for this role so how can Priyanka lose out on a role she was never even considered for?'

Players received a. Controversy erupted regarding the clarification to a scene in which Kapoor is seen making a, which was clearly visible in the promos of the film.

It was initially blurred out but was later approved after appeals from the directors and Kapoor, who stated, 'I don't believe in censorship so whether they like it or not, I really don't care about it. I just want people to come and see my film. Showing a middle finger is a part of today's youth'. Media criticised her, claiming 'For Sonam Kapoor, showing middle finger is no big deal' and the censor board for allowing the scene pass without cuts or blurring; a similar scene in 's (2011) had also been allowed.

The issue was brought to light once again, when cricketer famously made the gesture at Australian fans (two days before the film's release) during the. Impact After the poor financial performance of Players, Bachchan's lack of success continued, and he was dropped from his next film role. The unexpected failure of the film led to many trade industry analysts reinstating the belief of a in Bollywood that the first-released film of the year always fails at the box office, which happened to the films (2008), (2009), and (2010). This had been happening for years until 2011 when became a 'semi hit' supposedly breaking the jinx.

The analysts were confident that Players would be successful. Plans for a sequel to Players were scrapped after major disputes began between the directors Abbas-Mustan and producers Viacom 18, who claimed that had made changes to the script without their consent and that the film had gone over budget from ₹450 million (US$7.0 million) to around ₹800 million (US$12 million) which had caused them extra losses.

Bachchan, who was signed for approximately ₹70 million (US$1.1 million), forfeited his payment of ₹28 million (US$440,000) and claimed he was 'happy with the way the film was shot' and he turned down the balance fee owed to him. The film initially recovered most of its cost through theatrical rights, sold for ₹350 million (US$5.5 million) to Ponty Chadha, bought by for ₹35 million (US$550,000), and that were sold to for an approximate ₹170 million (US$2.7 million). The total loss amounted to around ₹80 million (US$1.2 million).
