Mumbai: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s ‘Monsoon Shootout’ will release in December after a four year wait, the producer said.

‘For almost a year we were travelling across festivals with the film and then we wanted to wait and release the film when we felt the time was right.

‘We had a successful release of ‘Haraamkhor’ earlier this year and 2017 has proven to be a year when good content films were being accepted. So we feel now is the best time to release the film,’ producer Guneet Monga said in a statement.

Monga and her production house Sikhya Entertainment is known for producing content-driven films like ‘Masaan’ and ‘Lunchbox’, apart from ‘Haraamkhor’.

‘Monsoon Shootout’ is a crime thriller film starring Nawazuddin, Vijay Verma and Tannishtha Chatterjee.

This film is about a policeman facing a life-altering decision when he must decide to shoot or not.

It is directed by Amit Kumar, who earlier made an award-winning short film called ‘Bypass’ with Nawazuddin and Irrfan Khan.

Nawazuddin had shot for ‘Monsoon Shootout’ immediately after ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’.
