The title poster of the Kannada film Pistol has been released. Actor Vasishta N. Simha unveiled the poster and extended his wishes to the team. The film is being produced by Prabeek Mogaveer under the banner of Atma Cinemas. He has written the story and screenplay, and will also be seen in one of the major roles. The film is directed by Ved, who has previously directed the films School Ramayana and Raven.
Pistol is planned as a suspense cum crime-thriller. The team stated that there are no conventional hero or heroine roles in the film, and the narrative itself is the main lead.
