Ace director Hansal Mehta, best known for 'Scam 1992', is working on a yet untitled thriller. The film is going to launch a star kid in the industry. Zahaan Prithviraj Kapoor, grandson of Shashi Kapoor is going to play a key role in the project. He will star alongside Aditya Rawal who has an OTT project to his credit. The project is co-produced by another master filmmaker, Anubhav Sinha.

Hansal is happy about the cast of his film. He said, "With the subject at hand, I was very keen on doing this film with fresh faces. Both Zahaan and Aditya have been selected on the basis of their talent and potential. The characters they play are very intricate and I’m sure the audience will love them too.”

Anubhav Sinha also wanted fresh faces so that audience can view them as characters instead of getting starstruck. He said, "Zahaan and Aditya bring fresh energy and excitement to their roles. Hansal and I wanted to cast new actors in this human story as we want the audience to feel they are watching characters rather than any star in the film with preconceived notions. We’ve already started shooting for the film and the hard work these two are putting in is commendable."
