Sidharth Malhotra is set to team up with Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani. The actor has been signed on to play a double role in the untitled production for T-Series and Cine1 Studios which is due to be released on 20 November.
The production houses last teamed up for the hit, Kabir Singh (2019), and are seeking to replicate the magic. This will be the fourth production venture between the two studios.
The film will also feature Malhotra in a double role, and is touted to be a taut action-thriller. The film is a remake of the Tamil hit, Thadam (2019). Malhotra was last seen in another commercial action-entertainer, Marjaavaan (2019).
