"It was good to be working on the first day of the New Year with such a dynamic talent Utkarsh Sharma and the beauty with confidence Ishita for the upcoming film 'Genius'," Nawazuddin tweeted on Monday. 

Nawazuddin said that "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" fame director Anil Sharma "is again in terrific form" with "Genius".

"Genius" is said to be the story of a witty youngster whose experiments can change the way we look at science and is slated to release next year. 

Besides "Genius", Nawazuddin will also be seen in "Thackeray" -- an upcoming biopic on the life of late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
