The cast also includes Vineet Kumar Singh, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub, and Kumud Mishra. Although plot details are being kept under wraps, it’s described as an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
In this as-yet-untitled production, Thackeray will appear with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayuub (Article 15), Vineet Kumar Singh (Mukkabaaz), and Kumud Mishra (Ram Singh Charlie). Although specifics of the plot are being withheld, insiders characterize the movie as suspenseful and gripping.

In the meantime, in September 2024, Kashyap will start filming his Bobby Deol movie again.
