Mumbai, November 10, 2017: Anil D. Ambani led Reliance Entertainment and Eros International have come together to release Phantom Films’ next untitled production on 25th May 2018. The film is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and stars Harshvardhan Kapoor in the lead.
The film, a vigilante drama set in Mumbai, is the story of one young man’s quest for revenge, and the discovery that he’s destined for much bigger things.

Motwane, who has been busy with shooting Netflix’s first India Original series Sacred Games, says, “The story explores love, friendship, anger and heroism and its relevance in today’s times. It’s been with me for a very long time and I’m delighted at the way it’s turned out. The action sequences are awesome and I can’t wait for the audience to see it.”
Shibasish Sarkar, COO Reliance Entertainment said, “We are happy to collaborate with Phantom Films for this film which will resonate with public at large in a unique way.
