Except casting, the details from the upcoming flick are kept under wraps. Deepika, however, during an interview with a media portal has said that the film is a domestic noir, a genre with which Indian audience is not well acquainted with.
"The overall genre of the film is something we haven’t seen much in Indian cinema, it’s called domestic noir. I don’t think that’s a genre we are very familiar with, but at the same time, the audience is completely ready for it, as we have been exposed to that genre in different ways, whether through Hollywood films or OTT platforms," Deepika said.
Shakun is known for his 2012 directorial Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and 2016 release Kapoor & Sons. The director will also co-producing the film along with KJo and Apoorva Mehta.
