So here are the broad hints - A. A superstar from the south who has just delivered a pan India juggernaut!

B. A massively loved actress who continues to awe us with her emotional energy on celluloid.
C. A legacy debut actor who is working tirelessly to find his spot in the sunshine of exceptional talent & combatting the obsession with the N word! But keeping his head down and just working! The film is ready and we will be releasing it soon! Any guesses? If you guess the title & all other details correctly - we would love to invite you to watch a glimpse of the film.”
