Karan is going to take me completely out of my comfort zone and I’m looking forward to this challenge.”
The film will be directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra. Ranbir is also awaiting release of Sanjay Dutt biopic, Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani , and shooting for Brahmastra opposite Alia Bhatt .
