Talented actor Sidharth Malhotra will be donning the titular role under the direction of Vishnu Varadhan who prominently works in Tamil. This will be the maiden Hindi project of Vishnu Varadhan. The ace director has super hits flicks like Ajith Nayantara starrer Billa and Arrambam at his credit.

Writer Sandeep Shrivastava has been roped in for Vikram Batra’s most anticipated biopic. The project will be jointly bankrolled by Dharma Movies and Shabbir Boxwala. Sidharth Malhotra was last seen in the Neeraj Pande’s Aiyari and received rave reviews for acting but unfortunately, the project tanked at the box office.
