After playing a righteous Army officer in No Fathers In Kashmir, actor Anshuman Jha is exploring the other end of the spectrum with his next offering, Midnight Delhi. The thriller, inspired by the 2010 crime case of Delhi's 'Blademan', sees the actor essay the role of the criminal who had left the capital shaken.

In his bid to play the part with conviction, Jha did thorough research on the case and interacted with the Delhi police. A source reveals, "The film traces the incidents of 2010 where a man attacked several women in West Delhi, using disposed surgical blades from hospitals, until his arrest in December that year. His modus operandi led to him being referred to as Blademan. As part of his prep for the film, Anshuman flew down to Delhi to meet the cops who were associated with the case. He wanted to have first-hand information from those who cracked the case."
