Faraaz is based on a 2016 attack on a cafe in the Bangladeshi capital in which 22 people, mostly foreigners, were killed.

The attack on the Holey Artisan cafe in Dhaka was carried out by a group of five men, who took diners hostage.

The 12-hour siege was Bangladesh's deadliest Islamist attack. Most of the victims were Italian or Japanese.

Besides Zahan Kapoor, Faraaz will also feature  veteran actor Paresh Rawal's son Aditya Rawal.

The  film will be produced by Anubhav Sinha in association with Bhushan Kumar of T series.

Shooting for the film has already started.

While Zahan Kapoor is the son of Kunal Kapoor and Sheena Sippy, the daughter of filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, and the Great Grandson of the late Prithviraj Kapoor,  Aditya Rawal is the son of Paresh Rawal and Swaroop Sampat.

Zahan makes his Bollywood debut with the film while Aditya Rawal  gets his big break with the film after his debut in the film Bamfaad, released last year.

Producer Anubhav Sinha said the reason for casting rank newcomers like Zahan Kapoor and Aditya Rawal was to ensure that audience see them as characters rather than a star.

'We wanted to cast newcomers in the film as we want the audience to look at themas characters rather than any star with preconceived notions.
