What follows is a tense, explosive rivalry that promises to deliver a full-throttle cinematic experience, blending action, emotion, and high drama.Speaking about the collaboration, Sandeep Singh said, “Remo, Milap & I have been friends for years. We have been trying to come for a film and it couldn’t have been better than this as this couldn’t have been expected from an ace choreographer Remo. But this one is a surprise by him to me. And I am sure that it will surprise the audience also equally. This is the most unique film under Legend Studios and I hope people will accept this genre from our banner.”
