Actors Usman Mukhtar and Ushna Shah are pairing up for an upcoming crime thriller, stated a press release. The duo will soon be seen playing the lead roles, with the Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay star essaying a police officer. The yet-to-be-titled film will be helmed by Zaheeruddin.

Tayyar Ho [are you ready] for this epic story?" the official Twitter handle of the film shared. Previously, Mukhtar had shared, "Legend became a myth, myth became a story and after hundreds of years, the legend awakens again." The film is directed by Azfar Jafri.
