Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has a release in Heropanti 2 this week, will soon switch gears to front the thriller, Afwaah that marks his maiden collaboration with Bhumi Pednekar. Not many know that Sudhir Mishra’s directorial venture revolves around the mysterious happenings of one night. Come June, the cast and crew will head to Rajasthan where they will only shoot nights over the one-month-plus schedule.  

Through its two central characters, the thriller delves into the quirky and twisted psyche of humans. A trade source reveals, “Afwaah revolves around how people believe rumours over facts these days. It’s a road thriller that will be filmed entirely over nights, and wrapped up in a start-to-finish schedule in Alwar.”
