Sureshji,
I haven't read anything about the dates anywhere.
One thing is clear, this Sugha seems to be no ordinary / average director. BM's asst also. This could be an engaging film, even if not a biggie commercially.
Moreover, he supposedly has good knowledge of ICM. What IR needs in TFM is such a guy to get some gems. I'm sure there'll be a couple of classics in this album!
