Tu Yaa Main is billed as a ‘high-concept, date-fright’ film. The genre-bending film starts off as a meet-cute that spirals into a survival thriller, set against a backdrop of music, madness, and the unpredictability of nature. It will be produced by Aanand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Vinod Bhanushali and Kamlesh Bhanushali.
