The Action-Thriller which is touted to be India’s first film about an animal lover vigilante has Anshuman Jha, Ridhi Dogra & Milind Soman in principal roles. French DOP Jean-Marc-Selva has shot the film while Kecha Khamphakdee (the stunt team behind Ong-Bak) has designed the action making it an international spectacle with an Indian heart – a story about Indian breeds in Kolkata. The film promises to bring the Israeli Martial Arts Form ‘Krav-Maga’ in all its might to India and promises to please animal lovers & action lovers across the board.
Anshuman Jha who got the opportunity to train with Tsahi Shemesh (Who Also Trained the Avengers Cast for Falcon & The Winter Soldier) for the film says ‘Animals & Action films are two of my biggest passions & I am grateful that our film which is set in Kolkata will have its India Premiere at KIFF 2022 & it’s World Premiere at the pet capital of the World New York City.
