Earlier in the month, India’s leading production house, Yash Raj Films, announced a creative partnership with Posham Pa Pictures, with a promise of producing disruptive and immersive content for the theatrical medium.

The yet untitled film is touted to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller to be directed by Sameer Saxena and is presently in the pre-production stage. “The yet-untitled project is a genre-bending theatrical film as the intent is to provide a thrilling cinematic experience to the audience. Ayushmann Khurrana has over the years won over the audience with his risk-taking ability, and has signed on to kick-off the partnership of YRF and Posham Pa Pictures,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that there is no better choice than Ayushmann for the film.
“There isn’t a better choice than Ayushmann Khurrana to spearhead a project that aims to keep the viewers on the edge-of-seat from the word go.
