Rindani has written the short film with Jai Mehta, who co-directed Gandhi in his breakthrough project Scam 1992 (2020) on SonyLIV. The rest of the details about the project are yet to be divulged.
Gandhi, who is also starring in the upcoming web-series Six Suspects, with Richa Chadha, tweeted, “There is no bigger joy for an actor then to be a part of a great story and be in a creative company (sic).”
