I’m really looking forward to working with Sujoy, Jaideep, and Vijay. “It’s the beginning of an electrifying journey and I can’t wait for audiences worldwide to see this global bestseller book come to life,” the 41-year-old actor said.
The film is produced by 12th Street Entertainment, Northern Lights Films in association with Boundscript and Kross Pictures.
