Vivek also mentioned that the director had a heart attack after seeing his accident. He added, "Both of us were recovering in the hospital, Ajay and Abhishek were with me, lifting my spirits with jokes and painkillers in a not-so-lucid state." 

He further said, "After many complications, four months later, it felt like a reunion on the sets. The entire unit lifted my morale while I limped through shooting the songs Fanaa and Anjana Anjani." 

Yuva was inspired by the life of George Reddy, a scholar from Osmania University in Hyderabad. It follows the stories of three men from diverse backgrounds whose lives are altered by an incident on Kolkata's Howrah Bridge, which also featured Om Puri, Anant Nag, Vijay Raaz, Sonu Sood, Saurabh Shukla, Lekha Washington, and others.
