“It’s set in the mainstream space but yet is very different from the regular masala action movies. Ayushmann is gradually trying to change his image and exploring different genres to prove his versatility as an actor, and this action film is going to be the starting point towards that. The actor will be seen in a distinct look in this film and will undergo rigorous physical training before its principal photography begins later this year. It’s Jaideep Ahlawat playing the villain and Ayushmann must build up to look believable against him,” a source told Peeping Moon.
Ayushmann’s next line-up of movies also includes – Doctor G, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui and Anek.
