However, after watching the promo of the film, we can not help but notice the striking resemblance between the film and Andrew Niccol's Lord of War direct starring Nicolas Cage, which was a worldwide hit.
The opening sequence of Lord of War Nicolas Cage which gives some statistics about the arms deal in the international market, which reminded us of a scene eerily Kunal Deshmukh refers to as a 'shot signature 'of his second film Jannat2.
When quizzed about this resemblance, the director says, "One, our films are not like God of War and if people are looking for the kind of film, they have failed. Yes, that one shot looks like God of War but that's my signature shot, something that I also used where money Jannat Emraan Showers in a stadium. "
Incidentally, both movies are about the illegal arms trade, though Kunal maintains, "Thematically, there may be similarities, but Lord of War dealt with international trade arm where as my film is very desi and revolves around the arms trade and gun culture in the capital. "
