Gone. I believe that action films which are not tied to a certain emotion and aspiration of a character are just action movies for that. There’s a lot of meat on the bone in Om’s story, got me excited. ,
He further told the portal that he chose the film as Ahmed Khan and Om director Kapil Verma has worked on a lot of action films and he wants to work with such filmmakers.

I spent my time daydreaming about.”
