Shahid Kapoor also expressed his excitement about the project on social media. He wrote, “Every story has its time, and this one begins now. Shooting starts on 6th January 2025, and we’ll see you in theatres on 5th December 2025.”

The film marks the reunion of Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bharadwaj after 15 years. The actor-director duo previously collaborated on ‘Kaminey’ (2009), ‘Haider’ (2014), and ‘Rangoon’ (2017). The 2009 film about Mumbai’s dark underworld helped Shahid break the stereotype of the chocolate boy. Meanwhile, ‘Haider’ was an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet.’ Set in Kashmir, the film was lauded for its setting, storyline, and impeccable performances. The film was both a critical and commercial success.
