Since 2015, we are steadily moving towards building a strong footprint in India, which is an important market for us. Post TE3N and Miracle In Cell No. 7, A Hard Day will be an apt film to go with. Raj & DK are known for their unique and quirky style of filmmaking, and in partnering with Raj & DK, we believe we have found the right sensibilities and passion to remake this as a big entertainer for 2018.”

Speaking about the film, the director duo, Raj & DK stated, “A Hard Day is a fast-paced thriller with unrelenting suspense and a great dose of humour.
