This film marks a notable departure for Tiger Shroff, whose career has so far been dominated by action-driven projects like ‘Baaghi’ and ‘Heropanti’. Stepping into a zombie comedy, he will explore humour in a full-fledged role for the first time, making it an interesting watch for fans. He has earlier teamed up with Ahmed Khan on ‘Baaghi 2’, ‘Baaghi 3’, and ‘Heropanti 2’.

However, neither film made an impact at the box office. Kapoor was also set to feature in Mohanlal’s ‘Vrusshabha,’ but she is no longer part of the film.
