By the looks of the teaser, the movie seems to be based on a hijack. The movie will have two leading ladies, and as per reports, Disha Patani and Raashii Khanna will be sharing screen space with the in-demand actor. The official announcement, however, will be made soon.

Interestingly, "Yodha" is the same film that was supposed to star Shahid Kapoor alongside Disha Patani. However, due to some issues, Shahid backed out of the project, making way for Malhotra, who is basking on the blockbuster success of "Sherhshaah".

Sidharth, on the other hand, has the spy thriller "Mission Majnu" co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, scheduled to release on 13 May 2022, and Indra Kumar's "Thank God", also featurning Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh, in the pipeline.
