Eminent actor Rajkummar Rao will once again team up with Hansal Mehta for his next titled Omerta . The actor will essay the role of a Pakistani Terrorist named Omar Sheik in the film which is touted to be thriller.

Mehta stated in a media interaction, "This is based on the said international fugitive, who was involved in Pearl's murder, and it covers a host of terrorist activities (including 26/11) seen through the eyes of this person, who was at the centre of it all. After watching 'A Mighty Heart' (2007), I wanted to know more about the predator and why he chose this path. While various films have tried to showcase terrorism or its repercussions, I felt it was important to explore the other side of the spectrum — what goes on in the minds of these terrorists.”

The director added, “There are so many stereotypes associated with terrorism, but the truth is far more murky and cold. Omar came from a privileged background before eventually being radicalised. Actor Mukul Dev told me this story way back in 2005. I wanted to make this film before Shahid, but a lot of research was required and we kept revising the script."
