Last November, it was reported by HT that Ibrahim had shot for 10 days for this project. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, this sports drama revolves around the journey of a marathon player and a dog. Dog plays the pivotal character in the film. The next leg of the shoot was told to take place in the picturesque landscapes of Himachal Pradesh.
While there have been no recent updates on the film, we bring an exclusive revelation regarding the female lead in the project.
