A source told NDTV, ���It will start rolling in Punjab from March 1. The actors have been told that they will get their remuneration only when a film studio comes on board. They have agreed to this condition as they loved the script. As of now, Phantom will be funding the film�۝.

���After this particular studio backed out of the project, they approached several producers, but without success. However, the search is still on,�۝ the source added.

The film is directed by Abhishek Chaubey and is an insight into the drugs industry.
