Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Amyra Dastur, Arunoday Singh, Tanmay Bhatt.Direction: Vikram Bhatt.

On the day of his final assignment before marriage, he is charged with treason and the murder of the Chief Minister. Surviving a factory explosion, he returns as the invisible Mr. X.

The riddle behind what went into Raghu's
