All about the film

The film, which released on Friday, follows Kemmu and Shrivastava's characters, who find themselves caught up in a high-stakes mission despite having no training or experience as spies. The film is produced by Kunal Kemmu and Chirag Nihalani under the banner of Drongo Films in association with Amazon MGM Studios.

"I've had this story with me even before I became a director. I've narrated this to friends. I didn't write it then because I didn't know whether it would be made or not," Kemmu told news agency PTI.

The references to popular spies, like Pathaan and Tiger, the actor-director said, comes from the fact that an ordinary person caught in an extraordinary situation would naturally turn to the characters he knows from pop-culture. "At that point of time, Pathaan had definitely not come. But it was just about what this character would feel. It was not taking a swing at anybody. Like, it was genuinely saying that for this normal man, like if I get picked up, I will say, 'you pick up somebody who's good at this'," he said.

"The idea of getting into the spy world, when you actually see the film, you'll understand why what is happening, it's all logical, it's not farcical. It is kind of over-the-top in the way that what is happening with them. But it's not a spoof, it's not a parody of any film," he added.
