That’s the reason why his films work across the country. He also has an ear for music and that will also come in handy in getting a hit soundtrack for the film.”

The film is written by Sanjeev and Mrigdeep Singh Lamba serves as a production partner. The source continued, “The hunt is now on to find the leading lady. The makers want to take the film on floors in September. They are confident that by then, they’ll lock the star cast and also complete the pre-production work.”

Sidharth excitedly came on board as he knows that it’s a film that’ll present him in a never-before-seen avatar and also expand his fan base. As a result, he’s giving his hundred percent towards prepping for the role.”
