(2008), Agneepath (2012), and Heartless (2014) will direct the film. While Siddharth has earlier co-directed a mini-series called The Great Escape with the other two directors in 2016, this Janhvi Kapoor film will be his full-fledged directorial debut. Laal Rang, LoveShhuda, and Baaraat Company fame Pankaj Matta has adapted the screenplay to suit the sensibilities of the Hindi film audiences.
