<p>In August last year, JJ Perry was announced a part of the upcoming action film.</p>
<p>Known for choreographing iconic sequences in <em>John Wick</em> and <em><strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/fast-and-furious-11-vin-diesel-hints-at-paul-walkers-return-to-the-franchise-23582492" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Fast &amp; Furious</a></strong></em>, Perry said, "This Indian crew is world-class. That's precisely why I chose to work with them. We're tackling a major sequence right now, and I'm super stoked about taking this on. It's a challenge, but I love a great challenge--and this team is meeting it head-on. We're here to push boundaries together--and that's what filmmaking is."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the makers have pushed the release date of the action-thriller to June 4, 2026 amid the tensions in the Middle East.</p>
<p>The team had planned a big trailer launch event in Bengaluru on March 8, with media from across the country. Promotions were in place, and the first song, titled <em>Tabaahi</em>, was also ready for release on March 2.</p>
<p>However, the makers decided to pause all promotional activities in view of the situation.</p>
<p>The film stars Yash in the lead role, along with Nayanthara, <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/regional-indian-cinema-news/article/kiara-advani-looks-mystical-as-nadia-in-first-look-from-toxic-a-fairytale-for-grown-ups-23608720" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Kiara Advani</a></strong>, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria. It is written by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas.</p>
<p>The movie has been shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.</p>
