The insider also shares that the team is being tight lipped about the upcoming project. “Everything is being kept under wraps as they don’t want anything to go out about the film,” adding, “They want to keep everything hidden, in fact there were jammers on the sets so that no one inside can shoot or communicate anything about the project. There were a limited number of people on the sets of day one of the shoot.” We tried to reach out to Pandey, but there was no response.
