The movie is being helmed by Pushkar and Gayathri, who also directed the Tamil action thriller, which starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles. The 2017 flick followed the story of a hard-headed policeman named Vikram (played by Madhavan) chasing a gangster and a drug smuggler Vedha (played by Vijay Sethupathi), who eventually surrenders himself. The movie also starred Prem Kumar, Hareesh Peradi, Shraddha Srinath, and Achyuth Kumar in supporting roles. The Bollywood remake, which will also feature Radhika Apte in a significant role, is slated for a release on September 30, 2022.
