Director Ashutosh Gowariker, who was assisted by Saad Khan in 2010, has tagged his protege's debut film `Station` as `gritty` and `very high on energy`.

`I am proud that Saad, who was my assistant in direction on 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey', is now making his debut with 'Station'! I found the film very exciting. It is gritty, stylishly shot and very high on energy! And the performances are extremely nuanced and natural. I surely want to visit the 'Station' again,` Gowariker said in a statement.

The crime thriller, which features Sameer Kevin Roy, Siddhanth K.S. and Kanika Batra, among others, is about three psychotic assassins sent to carry out a job at a waiting room on a deserted railway station.
