“The masked wonder on the streets of crowded Delhi and ne’er an eye is raised...this is what what life is all about ‘buddy’.

The social-thriller is directed by National Award-winning Bengali director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, who is stepping into Hindi films with the project. The story line of the film, which also stars Taapsee Pannu, is still under wraps. The star also cleared that the film is called Pink, and not Eve, as earlier reported.

After enjoying a walk with no cameras swarming around him, Amitabh also lauded the make up artist.
