Gautam is excited to play a kindergarten teacher called Naina Jaiswal, and is excited about the character's complexity and nuances. She will be seen in a role where she takes children hostage and the drama unfolds as a negotiations kick in between Gautam's character and a female cop, played by Neha Dhupia.
