Said Mouni: "It is a spy-thriller franchise with a stirring plot and lively characters (that are) passionate about what they do. Purab is a thorough gentleman and an absolute rockstar."

The admiration seems mutual, going by what Purab has to say about Mouni.

"Mouni is amazing. I've always thought so from when we worked together way back in 2014. I love the fire that shines from this Bengal beauty. I feel all her millions of fans are in for a treat when they see her in this one," he said.

About his role, Purab added: "I'm excited about my role as Arjun, a RAW agent, and I look forward to what people feel about seeing me in this new avatar."

"This is the first OTT feature film to be shot in London post the lockdown. On one hand, it was very challenging and a great learning (experience) to shoot in these difficult times and at the same time, it was also a joy to work with a wonderful team," said director Kanwal Sethi, adding that they have tried "to show London in a new face, like never before".

The film is slated to release on the OTT platform Zee5.
