Breathe: Into The Shadows actor Amit Sadh will play a cop specialising in encounters in debutant director Sachin Saraf’s movie.

“I love a good cop drama. When I read the script, I was convinced it was not just the story of an encounter specialist, but more to do with his complex psychology,” said Amit.

Produced by UV Films, the film, which is yet to come up with a title, will also feature renowned actors Seema Biswas, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Milind Gunaji.

"It was Amit Sadh’s birthday when I spoke to him for the first time, he asked me to email the script as he was on a holiday. To my surprise, he called just after two days to tell me that he loved the script," said the director.

Producer Pradeep Rangwani and Sachin were blown away by Sadh's portrayal of an unconventional, intellectual and rugged crime branch officer in Breathe and felt that he was best suited for the role.

"The work ethic that Amit has is something we all know, and we are only too excited to start filming. The ensemble cast is also very talented. I couldn't have asked for more for my debut feature film," Sachin said.
