The crime-thriller will feature model-turned actor Bidita Bag in the forefront, while Malik will play the other lead. Bidita who hails from West Bengal has been in the industry since 2011, however, she became a sensation post her stint as Phulwa opposite Nawazzudin Siddiqui in Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (2017).

Besides that, the screenplay, dialogue and the story is written by actor cum writer Kapil Kaustubh Sharma, who has some good amount of work in his resume.
