Lucia-fame Pawan Kumar, who recently made his web series debut with Leila, is all set to direct a Hindi film. Though the director has been tight-lipped about the project, sources state that it will be bankrolled by a big production house, featuring top actors. 

Pawan is currently preparing the script of the film, and a big announcement is expected to be made by the producers in September. The film will most likely go on floors at the end of this year or January next year. 

It may be recalled that the director has been wanting to make a film based on Nicotine, with a title C10H14N2. It would be interesting to see whether Pawan will go ahead with this story for his first Hindi film or come up with a fresh one.
