This is also the first time ever where Akshay Kumar will be playing a Catholic. However, it was not easy to prepare for the role and the actor had to lose 17 kilos and even got inked for it. Talking about Akshay's character, director Karan Malhotra said, "Since Akshay is playing a Catholic character, my crew went to the bylanes of Bandra (Suburban Mumbai) and met people and saw the tattoos they had and also the way they speak."

In the film, Akshay has a Jesus tattoo on his arm and a cross on his wrist. Karan Malhotra further added that the actor plays a physics teacher with a hidden past. Brothers also stars Jacqueline Fernandez as Akshay's wife, Sidharth Malhotra as Akshay's brother, Jackie Shroff as Akshay and Sidharth's father. The film is slated to release on August 14.
