In the film Pallavi Joshi will be seen as Aiysha Ali Shah, Pankaj Tripathi as Gangaram Jha, Shweta Basu Prasad as Raagini Phule, Mithun Chakraborty as Shyam Sundar Tripathi. And Naseeruddin Shah will be playing PKR Natrajan.

Revealing about his film, Vivek told PTI, “On January 10, 1966, Shastri had signed the Tashkent Agreement and hours later he died. A death mystery unsolved till date. Was it a heart attack or poison? The truth of the biggest coverup has been denied to his family and us. Immediately after his death, the family members of Shastri officially requested a post-mortem to the then acting Prime Minister Gulzarilal Nanda, but to no avail.”

He added further, “The family also had requested former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, but was not heeded to once again,”

‘The Tashkent Files’ also features Vinay Pathak, Mandira Bedi, Ankur Rathee and Prakash Belawadi in pivotal roles. It will hit the silver screens on April 12.
