Mani says the film generous dollops of comedy, romance and drama too. 

"People think action is just people firing at each other," says Mani Shankar. "But it is more than that. I had to do a lot of research, learn the tactics of the Bodos (rebels in Assam) and the PWG (the Naxalite People's War Group). I had to know more about the people who constantly fight them. We think terrorism (in India) is restricted to Kashmir, but it is really not." The movie will be completed in September and is scheduled for a December release. It is the second action film from Mani after an outstanding Hindi action film, December 16 which was a hit last year."■
