As cinema halls remain shut owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Khuda Haafiz is going for a direct-to-OTT release. Vidyut is happy about the move.

The romantic action thriller is inspired by real life-events, and has been directed and written by Faruk Kabir. The trailer of the film, co-starring Shivaleeka Oberoi, was released on Friday.

"Khuda Haafiz is a very special movie to me as the character I play is something that I have not attempted before. The movie is a perfect amalgamation of romance, action, and thriller, with an amazing cast," says Vidyut.

"Faruk Kabir, the director-writer, is extremely talented, and it was a pleasure working with him. I'm glad that the movie will launch on a streaming platform where people from across the country will be able to enjoy it upon release," he adds.

Khuda Haafiz is the story of a young, recently-wedded couple from India, Sameer (Vidyut) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi), who decide to work overseas in search of better career opportunities. Under mysterious circumstances, Nargis goes missing in the foreign land and the film shows Sameer's attempt to find his wife.

Khuda Haafiz will release on August 14, on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.
