In Hussain's novel, five years after the 26/11 attacks, a retired army officer spearheads a covert mission with a team of daredevil agents to seek out and kill these terror masterminds, one by one, making sure that the assassination look like natural deaths. The best-selling author has collaborated on the screenplay. Kabir Khan confirms the story and adds "You will understand the significance of the (Saeed) speech once you see the trailer."
