Speaking with Mumbai Mirror, the filmmaker shared that some portions of this Maqbool Khan directed movie are yet to be shot. He said, "Right now, we are focused on completing the film. After that, it will be wait-and-watch. We don’t know when the theatres will open and at what capacity they will run."

"It’s a commercial potboiler and the fresh pairing of Ishaan and Ananya makes it interesting. They brought a lot of youthful energy to the shoot. Everyone had a blast and it shows in the edit," he added.
