Nikita Dutta plays the classic Bollywood heroine in this stylish heist thriller directed by Robbie Grewal and Kookie Gulati, and produced by Siddharth Anand. The film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Kunal Kapoor
Talking about being a part of the film, Dutta said,“I’ve been part of Sid Anand’s world, which I feel is a huge thing because, I mean, I feel as an actor—especially as a female actress, I would say—I don’t think I’ve lived the classic Bollywood heroine tag. But thanks to you and Mamta, I’ve gotten this opportunity to play the classic Bollywood heroine. And I’m not just saying that because you’re going to see me dancing. It’s about the overall heroine feel. I think I’ve finally gotten that through this film. So that’s my takeaway from being a part of Sid Anand’s world with this film"
