My character is a fighter, someone who evolves with every challenge, and portraying her was both liberating and intense," Bollywood Hungama reported. Angira Dhar expressed her initial intrigue with the concept of 'zombies in Punjab.' She stated, 'From the moment I heard the concept — zombies in Punjab — I was hooked. This is more than just a horror-action film; it's a survival story rooted in emotion, community, and resilience. This genre is new territory for Punjabi films, and I'm thrilled we're the ones leading that charge. There's grit, there's heart, and there's a whole lot of mayhem. Audiences are in for a wild, unforgettable experience." First Published:
