In his post, he wrote that he was really excited to be working with Sinha for a second time, “Excited to be collaborating with Anubhav Sinha sir. Again. #ANEK. 😃🙏🏼.” He further wrote that he was presenting the look that he was to be sporting in the film as the character Joshua and credited the producers of the film.
The first of the two photos posted by Ayushmann Khurrana is a picture of the actor with director Anubhav Sinha. Ayushmann is seen holding a clapboard in his hand which has the word “AGAIN” written on it signifying the collaboration of the actor with the director a second time around. The two are seen standing against a seemingly endless forest with no end to the trees and greenery in sight.
The second picture is a solo shot of Ayushmann Khurrana. The eyebrow slit is the focus of the picture here. He is seen wearing a green jacket over a green tee. He also has a full face of facial hair. The actor has been captured moodily staring off into the distance in the picture while being seated in a red jeep. This look for the character of Joshua is unlike anything the actor has been seen in before. The movie falls into the genre of a crime thriller. The movie is being extensively shot in Assam’s Kaziranga region and is believed to be the most expensive project of Anubhav Sinha till date, according to Mid-Day.
