"I am thrilled to be a part of this film. The story of the film is extremely engaging. When I started reading the script, I simply couldn't keep it aside till I reached the end, it was so engrossing. Plus the character I play is very interesting. Everything about it was so good that I was compelled to say a 'yes' immediately," said Sohum about the film produced by Ajay Devgn.
