According to sources close to the development, Bobby Deol heard the subject a couple of weeks back and has shown interest in doing the feature film. “Bobby loved what he heard, especially the fact that the narrative around his character is full of twists and turns. While he plays the baddie on the face of it, the character serves as a parallel lead to Saif Ali Khan,” a source told Pinkvilla.

The source further added that Bobby is excited to get in a face-off with Saif Ali Khan in a Priyadarshan directorial. “Bobby has his date diary blocked for the next 6 months; however, he has bought a couple of weeks to see if he can allot 30 days to Priyadarshan for this thriller. He has loved the script and is going out of his way to get the logistics sorted,” the source added.
