"It's Austin Powers meets Johnny English, both of which are iconic spy agent comedy films. It's a new edge to comedy and something that hasn't been done before in India and I have seen these films do well and go on to become successful franchises," Vir said in a statement.

Though the film is inspired by the Hollywood movies, Vir said his film is a "completely different project and story."
