As murder mystery Ittefaq completed 7 years today since its release, actor Sidharth Malhotra recalled how stepping into a negative character was challenging and out of his comfort zone.

He wrote, "Loved playing the unique and complex role of Vikram Sethi! Stepping into a negative character was challenging, fun and out of my comfort zone. Big thanks to the team for making it happen! Celebrating all the memories #7yearsofittefaq."

The murder mystery is a remake of Rajesh Khanna's 1979 film of the same name and the new version is directed by Abhay Chopra, BR Chopra's grandson, who produced the original film Ittefaq.

The film also stars Akshaye Khanna as police officer, who is investigating a double murder case that has only two witnesses, who are also the prime suspects.

The movie, which is co-produced by Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, was released on November 3, 2017.
