Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi are all set to share screen space for the first time in a film which the makers say is an "intriguing, intense mystery thriller." Directed by Rumi Jaffrey, the movie has blocked February 21, 2020 as its release date, and will go on floors on May 10. Talking about the film, writer-director Rumi Jaffrey, said, "A film is a collaborative effort and when you have one of the best actors in front of the camera and a veteran producer behind the lens supporting you and leading all creative efforts, then making the film is a fantastic experience." Amitabh Bachchan tweeted the news on Thursday morning, confirming his maiden collaboration with Emraan Hashmi. He wrote, "T 3139- A long standing commitment, now being fulfilled .. finally, to be a part of @anandpandit63's next production, starring @emraanhashmi and directed by #RumiJaffery.
