Dinesh has produced films like Being Cyrus, Love Aaj Kal and Badlapur. The Sushant-Kriti starrer will mark his debut as a director.
Homi Adajania will produce the project, which is said to be a love story.
Dinesh was expected to enter direction with a film featuring Saif, but that didn't work out, as the actor is busy with Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon.
