"I am an actor who responds to the story. So for me Rishab's past victories mattered little compared to the fantastic material he brought to me. When I first heard it, I was bowled over. I love a good challenge. In my last few films, I have tried to push the bar higher even for myself. I am trying to back great roles and this role is something I feel I could add value to. Rishab has a great vision for the story and I trust him completely. He is extremely talented and gifted and I hope together we are able to give the audience a memorable film," Gulshan said.
"I said yes to work with Rishab without ever having watched any of his films. He is enormously successful as a filmmaker and an actor even but what appealed to me was his passion and ambition to tell his stories his own way. He is a new wave and perhaps a pioneer in the making. I am very hopeful about this one which also stars the veteran Anant Nag and Shraddha Srinath," he added.
Rishab plans to start shooting of the thriller from March 1 in Belagavi, and will then move on to shoot important portions in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand.
