The yet-untitled film will be directed by Aakash Kaushik and is touted to be a one-of-its-kind spy comedy. “Karan and Guneet have been very excited about this subject as the script has shaped up well with a perfect blend of espionage elements with comedy. The script tick marks all the boxes of a commercial film as it has scale, thrill, and action with a lot of comedy, and the trio of Karan, Guneet, and Aakash feel that Ayushmann Khurrana fits the character to the T,” revealed a source close to the development.

The film is touted to be a quintessential Ayushmann Khurrana starrer, as it breaks all the norms of the spy films made in Hindi Cinema to date. “The film goes on floors in a couple of months and the official announcement with title is around the corner. The makers are in advanced stages of discussion with Sara Ali Khan to play the female lead,” the source added.
Aakash Kaushik has previously worked on multiple comedy films in the capacity of a writer and is now all set to make his debut with this spy comedy. The prep work is currently under way and the makers are gearing up to go on floors by June 2024. It’s being jointly produced by Dharma Productions with Sikhya Entertainment.
