The script of his comeback movie is said to be close to Javed Akhtar’s heart and is something that he is wanting to translate on the spectacle for a while now. Director Ritesh Sidhwani spoke about the same and said, “Comeback? Where did he go? He has been writing lyrics.” 

Later, Ritesh gave out more details, stating, “He is writing something and that update is true. We will be announcing the film soon. It’s going to an adventure film, very different from what we have made so far.”

“It’s his world, what he was known for. There’s action, that has got an adventure element. It’s going to be wholesome entertainment, from the school that he has come from,” Ritesh continued.
