The film shows the origin story of Shabana Khan, who works as a proficient field agent with Ajay Singh. It begins with two Indian agents working under Ranvir Singh chasing an international arms dealer named Mikhail. However, he kills them both and escapes.
Taapsee Pannu was trained in mixed martial arts for her role in the film.[9] In October 2016, Prithviraj Sukumaran joined the cast of the film and shot for a cameo role.[10] Akshay Kumar was signed to play a cameo in the film, reprising his role from the previous film.[11][12] Anupam Kher was signed to play the role of a technical agent.[13] French stuntman Cyril Raffaelli was signed to choreograph the stunts of the film.[14] For the preparation of the role of Pannu's character as a spy, producer Neeraj Pandey took guidance from a full time consultant, an ex-intelligence officer.[15]Varun Dhawan was also rumoured to be a part of the film, however, the actor claimed later that he was not part of the film.

Principal photography of the film's first schedule began in September 2016 in Malaysia, where Kumar and Pannu shot for stunt sequences.[19][20] Filming of the first schedule was completed in late October 2016.[21] The film's second schedule was started in November 2016 in Mumbai.[22] The shooting of the film was wrapped up in February 2017.[23]
On April 9, 2017, the film was banned in Pakistan by its Central Board of Film Censors.[5][25][26][27] It had been shown in Pakistan starting on March 31, 2017, as long as certain scenes with a terrorism theme were cut.[25] One day after an Islamabad theatre showed an uncut version the film was banned from all theatres in the country.[27]
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote, "What does come as a surprise, however, is just how much of a drag the film is. Except for a few stray sequences in which the limber Taapsee Pannu goes after the bad guys, and the ones in which co-star Akshay Kumar moves in to demonstrate how the big boys do it, there is nothing either novel or interesting about the film."[28]
But in this, Taapsee is not only our familiar face scene to scene, she is also our entry into this world, we learn about it as she is learning about it. And we care about her emotional journey over the course of the film. And that emotional journey serves a purpose of hiding MASSIVE LOGICAL HOLES!!!!
Oh, and Prithviraj is there too. He is super fun, and it was very strange to see him in this role after watching his much more complex performance in City of God over and over and over again. But he did a good job, he had the most scenes of the film of anyone, excluding Kangana and Manoj Bajpai, and I never got tired of him.
But this movie expands on that, turns it into a 2 hour film, and I found myself increasingly disappointed. Because while her fight scenes and fight training are neat, ultimately she is still a woman being used for her body, not her mind. And her body is still being controlled by others, she never thinks for herself or comes up with her own plans.
But in films like this, I'm willing to sacrifice logic for excitement. If the director keeps the adrenalin going, who cares about plausibility? But Nair directs with a leaden hand. Everyone wears a singular determined expression. We get the clichéd training montage as Shabana becomes a woman of steel. The attempts to create a sense of urgency and intrigue are undermined by the lack of coherence. And eventually we end up with Akshay Kumar having a bubble bath in Kuala Lumpur. He's a big man. It's a small tub. His casually cool, killer but also a player expression makes this scene an instant unintentional comedy classic.
Director Shivam Nair, who last tried the thriller genre in his 2015 disastrous outing, Bhaag Johnny, has explored another not so edgy thriller film Naam Shabana. Whoever goes in expecting a film to be on lines of the Taapsee Pannu starrer Pink or Baby, will be let down. Producer-writer Neeraj Pandey pens down a film which highlights the issue of self-defence and women safety.
Known for making content driven films like A Wednesday and Baby, Naam Shabana is surely a disappointment from producer-writer Neeraj Pandey. However, the flak also goes to director Shivam Nair for a poor execution. First half is flat but raises high hopes in the second half but by then it is too late to even like it.
Taapsee Pannu is the knight in shining armour of the film. It is so good to see her breaking bones and kicking butts so effortlessly. Her power packed performance in the film is an answer to those who considered her a lesser talent early on. (Pink is an exception). She debuted with Chashme Baddoor in 2013 and post that she changed her image entirely with films like Baby and Pink.
This Delhi-raised actor, who I have never seen in a film before, with her lovely Jat Sikh athletic build, the terrific gazelle grace in which she runs and the zeal with which pulls those karate punches, leaves your jaw dropping.
The lend from the Malayalam film industry, Prithviraj Sukumaran, as the villain, was a good casting call. With his high cheekbones and essence of evil look, he is astonishingly oomphy too. Let's hope we see more of him in future.
It is a remarkable performance but then this is a remarkable film. The two halves of the narrative are almost like two different films, both equally irresistible. But constructed under differing circumstances. The first half is devoted to building a relationship for the loner heroine with a boy (Taher Mithaiwala) who won't take no for an answer, and then dismantling her hope for love. The second-half constructs a brisk bracing spy thriller with Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumar pitching in a gritty menacing turn as a nasty international villain. It is here that the action explodes on the screen with optimum impact.
The scenes are cleverly written and Akshay Kumar's extended cameo is a sure-shot crowd pleaser. The film also has some savagely funny moments. At one point when that very fine actor Zakir Hussain is spying on a bikini-clad woman while holding back his urge to pee, he exclaims his organ has grown 'confused'.
Naam Shabana is a film of rude awakening, reminding us how much maturity in vision treatment execution and the performances, a film can achieve provided it stops looking for reasons to make audiences happy. Watching this film is a joy, although nothing really happy happens to Shabana. We are just happy that she can fight her own battles even when the odds are stacked sky high against her.
After making her mark in films like Pink, Runningshaadi.com and The Ghazi Attack, actress Taapsee Pannu is again in the new for her most-awaited next film, Naam Shabana. Pannu, who is being applauded for her different look and fight sequences in the film, looks set to once again steal the show.
Q. After Pink, Naam Shabana is your most-awaited film, which is a spin-off of the film Baby. Could you tell us about your character?
A source close to the film's team told Mid-Day, "The original film featured a strong ensemble cast and there is a potential to explore the backstory of each of them. The makers have decided to explore that possibility." The characters in question are played by Rana Daggubati, Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher and Danny Denzongpa.
Naam Shabana stars Taapsee Pannu as the lead, who had a 20-minute role of a secret agent in Baby. The creators of the film were impressed by her stunts, which is why they decided to make a film that explored her character's back story.
"It's rare that Indian films see the light of the day in non-traditional markets. With 'Naam Shabana', we are overwhelmed to have the film releasing across 37 countries. We are glad to have set a benchmark for other female-oriented films with such a wide scale of exposure," Shibasish Sarkar, Chief Operating Officer, Reliance Big Entertainment, said in a statement.
An incident one night convinces her to put her martial arts training to use and she chooses to follow an uncharted path thereon. How she joins an intelligence group to save her country from unwanted elements beginning with a global arms kingpin, forms the crux of this two-hour plus film.
This is a film which exudes an aura of intrigue and being much-anticipated, one goes in with a lot of expectations. But alas, the first half which starts with a fair amount of promise and an emotional quotient, degenerates into a mindless action film which fails to grip you and drags. The weak and far-fetched plot meanders aimlessly, hinged on a weak motive both of the protagonist, Shabana as well as the intelligence group she works for.
