In August last year, JJ Perry was announced a part of the upcoming action film.

Known for choreographing iconic sequences in 'John Wick' and 'Fast & Furious', Perry said, "This Indian crew is world-class. That's precisely why I chose to work with them. We're tackling a major sequence right now, and I'm super stoked about taking this on. It's a challenge, but I love a great challengeand this team is meeting it head-on. We're here to push boundaries togetherand that's what filmmaking is."

Meanwhile, the makers have pushed the release date of the action-thriller to June 4, 2026 amid the tensions in the Middle East.

The team had planned a big trailer launch event in Bengaluru on March 8, with media from across the country. Promotions were in place, and the first song, titled 'Tabaahi,' was also ready for release on March 2.

However, the makers decided to pause all promotional activities in view of the situation.

The film stars Yash in the lead role, along with Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. It is written by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas.

The movie has been shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
