Shahid Kapoor, who is awaiting the release of the Ali Abbas Zafar actioner Bloody Daddy, will soon be seen in another action-thriller where he will be essaying the role of the cop. The film will be directed by Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews known for films like Salute (2022) and Kayamkulam Kochunni (2018).

The film is produced by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films. The film’s plot follows a brilliant yet rebellious police officer investigating a high-profile case. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal, leading him down a thrilling and dangerous path.

Talking about this film and role, Shahid said, “It’s rare to find a subject that has action, thrill, drama and suspense all packed into one script and I am really looking forward to this. It’s a privilege to be collaborating with Zee Studios and with Siddharth Roy Kapur, with whom I have worked on Haider and Kaminey earlier. Rosshan Andrrews is a veteran filmmaker whose Malayalam filmography is spectacular. We have spent many months together now and it will be a pleasure to work with such a fantastic cinematic mind.”
