The script was recently reworked to accommodate this fresh pairing, and insiders claim Sonakshi’s intense screen presence was integral in shaping the film’s narrative and tone.

Currently being filmed across Madh Island, Malvani, and Vile Parle with some not-to-be-missed courtroom sets, the movie is anticipated to be one of the most performance-oriented projects on OTT in 2026.
If this project lives up to its hype, it could be a game-changer in OTT storytelling. Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s distinct filmmakingstyle—grounded, emotionally resonant, and deeply character-driven—has the potential to resonate with many diverse audiences.
With platforms like Amazon Prime Video providing a massive reach, this project has the potential to find a far wider and more engaging viewership than traditional theatrical releases.
If executed well, the film’s impact will surely solidify Ashwiny’s position in the industry as a director who can create powerful and widely appealing narratives not just for the big screen but also in the streaming sector.
