The film starred Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead.
Shanaya, the daughter of Maheep and Sanjay Kapoor, has followed the footsteps of her family members. After working as an assistant director on her cousin Janhvi Kapoor's Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, she is all set to face the cameras. The young diva started preparing for her acting career several years ago. A social media sensation, Shanaya is the current talk of the town. In her debut, Shanaya will play the role of Nimrit.
