After playing a gender-fluid cyber-criminal in Heropanti 2, Nawazuddin Siddiqui appears in the avatar of a woman in the motion poster of Haddi.

Directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, Haddi is pegged as a noir revenge drama. The film is co-written by Akshat Ajay Sharma and Adamya Bhalla. It will be shot in areas around Western UP, including Noida and Ghaziabad, and released in 2023.

Talking about the film, Nawazuddin shares, "I have portrayed different interesting characters but Haddi is going to be a unique and special one since I will be sporting a never-seen-before look and it will also help me to push the envelope as an actor. Looking forward to starting shooting the film."

Director Akshat has worked as a second unit director on AK vs AK, Sacred Games, and as a dialogue writer in the recent release Major. Haddi, his feature debut, is produced by Zee Studios and Anandita Studios.

"It's going to be a double whammy, as 'Haddi' gives me the opportunity to collaborate with Nawazuddin," Akshat shares. "Our team is hoping that the motion poster piques the audience's interest as we are excited to be diving deep into a new world. Can't wait to start filming."
