Actor Shahid Kapoor is excited as he is all set to play the lead role in an upcoming action thriller movie, backed by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur. The film will be helmed by director Rosshan Andrrews, who is known for Malayalam blockbusters like ‘Salute’ and ‘Kayamkulam Kochunni.'

In a statement, the makers said the yet-to-titled film will go on floors in the second half of 2023 and will release in 2024. It is about a police officer investigating a high-profile case. He is led to a dangerous path as he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal.
