The comedy thriller, which plays out over one night, is Grover’s first Hindi film release since the Shah Rukh Khan-led blockbuster, Jawan (2023). The actor, who burst on the scene with his Gutthi act, says the Atlee-directed action fare has taken his career in a new direction. “I was surprised with the way my negative character was received in Jawan. Since then, people have started looking at me differently,” he says, adding that he is happy to go beyond the image of a funnyman. “Now, I am getting offers that challenge me as an actor. I want to be a part of stories where my character has his own journey.”
