Cricket break

Says Rannvijay who is looking forward to Mod, his next release after Action Replayy. "It is a small-town story and how things affect the characters that Ayesha and I essay.
Apart from Ooty, we also shot in Coonoor."
He adds, "At the moment, the project is in post-production and a release date has yet to be ascertained."
The film's cast also includesu00a0 Gulfam Khan, Usha Bachani and Yashodhan Bal.
