A lot is at stake in Hitman starring Shiney Ahuja. Directed by Sudhir Mishra, who is known for his good rapport with Shiney, the film is no inferior in creating expectations.

Shiney getting out on bail after being imprisoned for alleged charges of raping his domestic help has brought more publicity for the movie.

Hitman was reportedly the story of an assassin. He takes a look back on his life. Rumours were that Shiney was playing the role with negative shades in the film.

Sources close to him said that Shiney's character would however be shown with respect. As Shiney is traumatised spending so many days in prison, the director seems to made some changes in the script and portray him as a hitman who repents his act.
