"I was excited to be a part of this gripping thriller since the day I heard the narration and working alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui was the add on.

"The script is compelling, and the '90s setting adds an extra layer of nostalgia. Working with Nawazuddin is an everyday learning experience, and we are eager to bring this intriguing story to life," the actor said in a statement.

Shah said Bapat and Siddiqui's pairing will bring a touch of freshness to the film.

"I am thrilled Priya Bapat came on board. Priya is a fantastic actor and she uses authenticity to bring character to life. Nawaz and Priya’s on screen chemistry is fresh and unique," he said.
