Directed by Aarti Bagdi, the romantic comedy is produced by Vivek Agrawal, known for his work on films like Udta Punjab, Super 30, and Vikram Vedha. With a planned wrap-up by 2025, the film aims for a release either later next year or early in 2026.
Although Fawad Khan's film The Legend Of Maula Jatt faced challenges regarding its release in India, his return to Bollywood is eagerly awaited by fans. The film faced opposition from various political factions, which has affected its distribution in the past. Despite the hurdles, Khan's comeback is now well underway and fans are excited to see him back on screen.
