The duo has read the script and were shocked by the details of the case. After 'Talvar,' this is another film that could shock the nation and stir a conversation about the case."
It has been further claimed that Meghna is planning to start the film by the end of this year and she wants it to be released in theaters by 2025. As per the source, "Meghna is looking to take the film on floors by the end of 2024. It will arrive in cinema halls in 2025."
