The actor, who plays a spy in the film, has partnered with Crowdera -- a free global crowdfunding and fundraising platform. The target fund planned for the first phase in production of the film is Rs 25,00,000.

"I am glad that I am making a film at such a time. This is perhaps the best time to make films for any filmmaker. With a platform where the love people have for you, translates into making a passionate and heartfelt idea into a reality, nothing could be better," Gurucharan said in a statement.

The film's idea has been his dream for the past 11 years.

"Cinema has always been, at its core, a team effort. From pre-production to the final screening for the audience, numerous people come together to lift a film to the pedestal we see cinema today," said Chet Jain, CEO of Crowdera.

"The fact that Crowdera has been a platform helping filmmakers create projects with passion...that too with the audience being producers, is truly special."
