"We are barely 24 hours away from going on floors. 'Kaabil' shoot starts tomorrow," the "Jazbaa" maker tweeted on Tuesday morning.
The film's team is enthused too.
"Last minute preparations with actors and technicians. Excitement in cast and crew is palpable. A whole new journey about to begin," he added.
The elated filmmaker hopes to acheive his "benchmark" with the Hrithik Roshan and Yami Guatam starrer film.
"(I) have set certain benchmarks for myself that I hope to achieve with this film. I always do, but this time they're really high."
Gupta said he is having "mixed feelings", which he mostly faces "before a film goes on the floors". However, he is focussed on making films which leave a mark.
"With my kids growing up, it's not just about making a film anymore. It is now about making a mark, making a difference. It's for them," he tweeted.
The film is being produced by Hrithik's father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan. Its plot has been kept under the wraps.
