\nThe project marks the first collaboration between Azure Entertainment and Rahul, who is co-producing.”Azure pitched this idea to me which was being developed and all of us realized that there was an exciting, real-time thriller format that this story lends itself to. This is a cracker of a script and Kriti is the ideal choice for the protagonist,” the director said.
