"This is my first visit to the region. I have heard about the beauty of the place from my friends and other directors and was always keen to visit. I am really bowled by the beauty of the place and its people," the 56-year-old actor said.
"18:11" was Hoque's second directorial venture after his debut in 2003 with an Assamese feature film "Juman Suman".
"After making Juman Suman, I have decided that I'll make my next film in Hindi and this is the first film in the language where both the hero -- Rehal Khan and the heroine Suhana Irani are from Assam," Hoque said.
Besides Grover, the film also features Prem Chopra, Asrani and Mukesh Tiwari for the suspense thriller. (More)
