"It's not every day that an actor gets to work with a director whose no stranger to the Academy awards. It's a huge honour to be working with Danis and we hope to create some great cinema together that will entertain audiences both on the home turf and in the west," Emraan said.
Kashyap has been a huge fan of Tanovic and his film No Man's Land which beat Aamir Khan's Lagaan and three other films to win the Academy award in the best foreign film category in 2001. The director-producer loved the script of the new film.
Prashita of Cinemorphic said, "I'm fortunate to be working with some of the best in the industry and look forward to partnering with like minded individuals who believe in the power of cinema."
