"All of them have their own indigenous style to express their lines and emotions. It is great that the film will premiere on ZEE5, a platform that always backs meaningful content," the 52-year-old director said in a statement.

Set in the backdrop of North India, the film traces the rise and fall of four friends' rustling operations across the Nepal-India border.

Produced by AZURE Entertainment, Yaara is a remake of 2011 French crime-drama Gang Story.
