The makers were in discussions about this project with Vijender, 27, since quite some time.
“It is a social thriller film with a message. The film will come out with a strong message,” Sadanand said while refusing to divulge details about the issue that the film will highlight.
Besides Vijender, there will be other actors as well, but the director refused to talk about the star cast of the film. “We have some actors in our wish list but we would not like to take any names,” Kabir said.
