We would be locking the studio soon and make an announcement within next 10 days,” Nikkhil said.

Talking about the story of the film, Advani said, “It’s a very tight script which revolves around a cop and a murderer. I can’t reveal who between the two is playing what but they are both very powerful characters and a dark thriller is a genre I haven’t explored before. We are looking forward to the shoot.”
