Dr. Cabbie is based on a script by Virmani, Ron Kennel and Manu Chopra. It is the story of a young Indian doctor (Virmani) who has newly-arrived in Canada and is compelled to work as a taxi driver after being rejected by local medical schools. While driving the cab, the young doctor treats people he picks up as passengers as part of a mobile clinic.
The film is being produced jointly by Andre Rouleau, Pauline Dhillon, and Virmani.
