Given the way his script shaped up, Balki and his team felt that Dulquer Salmaan would fit the bill and be apt for the protagonist's part in the film."
Reportedly, the film will have multiple mysterious characters with Dulquer being the central one. Meanwhile, the makers are yet to finalize the leading lady for this thriller.
"The female lead and other actors of the film will be locked soon, and a formal announcement is on the way," the portal quoted the source as saying. The report also stated that why Balki is one of the key producers of this thriller, a studio is expected to come on board as well.
