Directed by Shantanu Baagchi, the film is the story of a spy played by Sidharth Malhotra. It is produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Amar Butala and Garima Mehta. Apart from Sidharth and Rashmika, the film also features Sharib Hashmi and Kumud Mishra who will be seen playing crucial characters in the story.
