The project is generating excitement amongst the fan of the actress even before the release has been announced.
Shooting Schedule and Initial Action Sequences
The filming is scheduled to commence in early July 2024 at the Andheri YRF Studios. Alia Bhatt will begin by shooting an intense entrance scene.

Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who plays their mentor, will join them there.
