By News Helpline – 9th July 2020

Actor Rajkummar Rao and Director Hansal Mehta, together, have given us some amazing films like 'Shahid' , 'Citylights' and 'Aligarh'. The director actor duo also worked together in the film 'Omerta' which was released in India in the year 2018. This highly acclaimed film is now all set to make its premiere on OTT platform. The film will stream on ZEE5 from 25 July.

The film 'Omerta' is based on the life of British born Pakistani terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh. The film which is based on the real life incidents of the 1994 Delhi westeners abduction, 9/11 attacks on the US and 26/11 Mumbai blasts was shot at multiple locations in adverse weather conditions.
