According to SpotboyE report, Yami loved her role that she didn't take much time to say yes to the part. Although Shraddha Kapoor will be paired opposite Mr Kapoor, she has an interesting role which has a lot of scope for her to display her acting skills. 

As per earlier reported by DNAAfterHrs, this socio-drama is likely to go on the floors in the second week of February. Based around the subject of escalating electricity bills, the film features Shahid as a lawyer. The film will be extensively shot in Haridwar, Rishikesh, Tehri, Mussoorie, and Nainital. The makers plan to release it on August 31, 2018.
