In a first, Nikhil Advani has teamed up with some of this year’s National award winners for his upcoming feature film titled <em>D-Day</em>. The film will star Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. The last two have earlier won National Film Awards. <em>D-Day</em> will also star Huma Qureshi and Shruti Haasan. <em>D-Day</em> revolves around the infamous gangster-Dawood Ibrahim, who operated from Mumbai during the 90’s.

Irrfan Khan is indeed going places these days with his recent successes <em>Life of Pi</em> and <em>Paan Singh Tomari</em> behind him. The actor will be seen playing a RAW agent in Nikhil Advani's <em>D-Day</em> that is being currently shot in the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat. While Irrfan's co-star Arjun Rampal had to work on his physique, Irrfan states his role didn't essentially require him to do any of that.
