MUMBAI — In a press conference held to announce his fourteenth film in three years, actor Vikrant Oberoi Kapoor reaffirmed his long-standing position that "script is everything" and "he will not touch a project unless the story moves him deeply."

The director of the film, speaking separately, confirmed that the narration lasted approximately forty seconds. "I said the title, described the hero's entry scene, and he stopped me," said director Fahad Shaikh. "He said, 'I felt it. I'm in.' We shook hands. He left. He had another narration in twenty minutes."

"When the script is strong, you just know. In your gut. Instantly. In under one minute." — Vikrant Oberoi Kapoor, man of principles

The film, titled Aatma Ka Toofan, currently has a title, a hero, and a release date. It does not yet have a second scene. Industry sources say this is "completely normal." The actor's fee has been confirmed. It is ₹40 crore. The script's existence remains under investigation.

When asked whether he had any reservations, Kapoor said he trusted his instincts, trusted the director, and trusted "the universe." He then left for a brand endorsement for a protein shake he has also never fully consumed.
