A source revealed to Pinkvilla that Zoya had acquired the rights of Martin Scorsese’s film and would be taking the basic idea from The Departed but tweaking it for Indian audiences. It will explore the gritty world of the underbelly that runs in the country. Though new to this particular space, Zoya is confident of pulling this off after Gully Boy. 

Meanwhile, Ranveer has already said yes for the role that Leonardo Di Caprio played in the original. Katrina Kaif will also be seen in an action-packed avatar! The two will be briefly sharing screen space in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryvanshi as well.
