“Run Lola Run” starred actor Franka Potente as Lola and Moritz Bleibtreu as Manni. The story follows a woman who needs to obtain 100,000 Deutschmarks in twenty minutes to save her boyfriend's life.
Tahir said the classic movie is one of his all-time favourites and he is excited to feature in its Hindi adaptation.

“’Run Lola Run’ is a cult film that blew my mind when I first watched it. What I loved about the original was its path breaking story, the look of the characters and the amazing background score.
“I never imagined I’d be a part of the Indian adaptation and I’m just so kicked by the thought . I call it adaptation and not a remake because it’s been moulded to fit an Indian context and today’s time," he said.
