Entertainment, the film is a dramatic, violent and action-packed
love story.
The second film to be distributed will be ‘Pagalpanti’, which is
scheduled to release on the 22nd of November. The forthcoming film
is a comedy caper directed by filmmaker Anees Bazmee and produced
by T-Series and Panorama Studios. The story of the film revolves
