And honestly, more than my audience, I am really waiting to tell them everything. We are spending sleepless nights working on it. You are really gonna taste it to the MAX."
He added, "The team is working relentlessly on the film and is just as eager to talk about it—but we're waiting for the perfect moment.

With cutting-edge technology and high-end VFX at its core, Atlee is reportedly crafting this mega-project on a scale comparable to the Avatar franchise. Set across two distinct universes, the film aims to be a landmark cinematic spectacle, blending massive scale, powerful emotions, high-octane action, and storytelling deeply rooted in Indian ethos yet designed for global audiences.
