After a successful return to form with Raid (2018), director Raj Kumar Gupta has begun the journey for his next, India’s Most Wanted. The film, starring Arjun Kapoor, has gone on the floors today.
India’s Most Wanted is Kapoor's 12th film, and his first film with Gupta.
Kapoor posted that the start of a new film was like a mission.

Buzz has it that the film is based on intelligence officers, and Kapoor is playing one of them. According to a report in entertainment website KoiMoi.com, a few portions of the film will be shot in Nepal.
And it looks like Gupta and Kapoor have already grown fond of each other. Two days ago, Kapoor tweeted this picture with a ‘Joker’ (popular comic book character from DC Comics’ Batman series) suggesting that he’s going to don a new look for India’s Most Wanted.
