The same source revealed that Aditya Dhar is currently taking some time off writing down the script again and reducing some of the action sequences so as match it within a particular budget structure. “The market is not lucrative as the digital streaming market has come down in the last 2 years. With films not fetching the requisite value of digital rights, the studios have asked lot of directors to rework their budgets. Aditya Dhar is now working to get budgets in place,” added our source at Bollywood Hungama.
