Touted as ‘India’s first female led spy thriller, mounted on a massive scale’, Dhaakad is directed by Razneesh Razy Ghai and produced by Deepak Mukut and Sohel Maklai. Presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt Ltd in association with Kamal Mukut, Sohel Maklai Productions and Asylum films. The film will be shot by director of photography, Tetsuo Nagata.

Talking about his role, Arjun said in a statement, “I am really looking forward to start shooting for Dhaakad.

Dhaakad is definitely going to help me explore a different side to me.”

The film will have high-octane action pieces, with a certain sequence between Kangana and Arjun that is said to be its USP. Kangana had on Monday shared a new poster featuring herself on Monday and written, "She is fearless and Fiery! She is Agent Agni. India’s first female led action thriller, #Dhaakad releasing in theatres on 1st October 2021!"
