Raj Kumar has already acquired the rights to Kaushik’s story from his family. Kaushik, the actor-turned RAW agent was one of the country’s most formidable spies. Confirming the news, Raj Kumar told Mumbai Mirror that his team is presently in the scripting stage. The director further added that much like his previous films, he intended to film at real locations this time as well. “I will shoot it across Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Iran. My script captures Kaushik’s journey from age 21 to 49,” Raj Kumar said.

Kaushik’s sister, Shashi Vashisth told the publication that the actor had always been a loyalist and would often write patriotic plays as a child. The actor, who passed away in 1999, was given the moniker of The Black Tiger for his valour and contribution towards the country.
