I am excited with their belief in me and I can't wait to begin giving White its true colour."
Talking about this new collaboration with Manjrekar, Producer Raaj Shandaliyaa from Thinkink Picturez shared, "Sandeep and I have always been looking for an opportunity to create great cinema together and tell untold stories to the world.
