No doubt, the U-turn will be a commercial film. However, I will be ready to perform in such films in the future those are outside of the general trends. I may work a little but it must be up-to-the-mark. I will work in selected films.” The shooting of the film will begin from October 10 at different eye-catching spots of Dhaka and Chittagong.
