The 27-year-old "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" star will be sharing screen space with his sister Huma Qureshi for the first time in the Prawaal Raman-directed movie.
"We have finished the film about 90 per cent with only eight to ten days of shooting left, which we will finish in a couple of months. We are looking at a May-June release right now. It has shaped up really well, I am very excited... I just saw it two days back and I was very proud of it," Saqib told PTI.
Saqib says the makers have a few names in mind for the yet-untitled project and will reveal it soon.
"When the film is slightly in the thriller-horror space, we don't have a vocabulary in Hindi for it. What will we call it, 'Shaapit Sheesha'? So that way it is difficult to come with a name which justifies the film... But in all honesty, we have a couple of titles, so we will be revealing the name soon."

Saqib says if not an actor, he definitely would have been a cricket player.
"I was training to be a cricketer, I have played some good level cricket in Delhi and Kashmir, I captained my college team as well... But then there comes a phase in your life where you are making your career choice and deciding which way you want to go."
"That time I realised, I was good at cricket but was I that good that I would make it to the Indian team? Probably not. If not an actor, I would be 100 per cent a cricketer," he said.
