The director has announced his next film titled Blackmail which stars National Award winning actor Irrfan along with Pink and Indu Sarkar fame actress Kirti Kulhari along with Divya Dutta and Arunoday Singh.

The film is reportedly a “quirky comedy” much like Deo’s Delhi Belly. According to a  report by Bollywood Hungama, this film revolves around Irrfan, a middle-aged married guy who leads a mundane life. His life goes on a roller coaster ride when he realises that his wife is involved in an extramarital affair. T-Series is co-producing the film along with RDP Motion Pictures. The film will release on 6 April.
