Ananya Panday is set to headline a yet-untitled cyber-thriller that will be directed by filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane. “When Vikramaditya Motwane approached me with this story, I just knew I had to be part of it. As a filmmaker, he has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember, and I feel really lucky to be working with him so early in my career,” Panday said.  Producer Nikhil Dwivedi said, “When Vikram shared the script with me, it was one of the most interesting materials I had laid my hands on in recent times and I decided within a few hours to participate in this. Ananya is a commendable artiste, and someone to watch out for in times to come. I am excited that she is in the film.”
