Mumbai, Oct 24: Mickey Virus - A comedy thriller is set to hit cinema theatres soon, as the first work of Manish Paul and Elle Avram as well as the directorial debut of Saurabh Verma.

Manish Paul has previously acted and hosted many a popular show on various Indian Channel.

The movie made within a total of 11 crores will hit 1000 screens to begin with. The movie revolves around the character Mickey Arora (played by Manish Paul) who is a computer hacker and Manish believes it is this aspect that younger audiences will easily relate to. Puja Gupta who plays Manish's tomboyish friend in the movie likens the love-hate relationship between their characters to that of Tom and Jerry. She further said that her character is 'one of the guys' in the movie and she will be seen doing a lot of guy-stuff.

Producer Vivek Rangachari also revealed that they had been approached from south Indian movie industries to remake the movie in Tamil and Telugu. They are still in talks with regards to the remake, merchandising and gaming rights.

Here's wishing everyone on board - all the very best for their venture.
