Since its pronouncement, Anuja has even spoken to the film’s producer, Rhea Kapoor. She told, “I have had an informal chat with Rhea about the film. Shashank is a friend and ex-colleague too. But, I haven't inputted on the screenplay, though I've read it. However, I have written another screenplay for the Anil Kapoor Film Company, which will be produced by Rhea in the future.”
