On Wednesday, Sanjay Gupta began scripting Rakshak, which revolves around a vigilante superhero. The filmmaker has acquired the rights of the graphic novel, Rakshak — A Hero Among Us, about a former marine commando. He is writing the screenplay along with author Shamik Dasgupta and Chetan Naidu.

The heavy downpour proved to be a source of inspiration to get him going. Gupta has also wrapped up the first draft of the third outing of the Shootout franchise after Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007) and Shootout at Wadala (2013).
