The film is a romantic comedy that will also deal with the culture of body-shaming, which is widely practised all across India. 

"As a fat person, I have noticed that body-shaming doesn’t happen only with those who are on the heavier side, but also with thin people. The idea germinated from there. The film essentially revolves around a father-daughter relationship with Kumud Mishra and Sanah at the centre. There is also a love triangle with the two heroes Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai," informed Abhishek, as quoted by Pune Mirror. 

Sanah is all set to start shooting for the film in August, which is written by Deepak Kapoor Bhardwaj. The filming will take place in Ghaziabad and Mawana. 

She said that she had already fell in love with her character after reading the scripts. 

“I am looking forward to mould myself into someone who is from a completely different culture. It’s mysterious and offers great scope for exploration,” she added.

Director Saxena said that he instantly knew that he had found his protagonist when he saw the young actress in Shaandaar. 

“She is like Saroj in real life too. Her character shares a fabulous relationship with her father who is worried about being separated from her when she gets married and insists that she find a man who can stay with them,” he said, as quoted by the website. 

And why was Sanah away from the limelight since Shaandaar?

Sanah said, “I took a year to concentrate on theatre to help myself improve as an actor while looking for a script that I wanted to be a part of. I also did a feature that released recently (Khajoor Pe Atke) and dabbled in some short films as well.” 

Sanah Kapoor made her big Bollywood debut with Vikas Bahl's Shaandaar. The film featured her brother Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.
