Earlier this month, director Umesh Shukla announced a biopic on India’s renowned lawyer Ujjwal Nikam. And now he has announced another film titled Aankh Micholi (2020).
The news was shared by well-known film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who mentions that the film will be this year's Diwali release. This means that it will clash with the Akshay Kumar-starrer Prithviraj (2020).
