From national awards to being called thalaiva- he makes everyone Khush." She also introduced her own character, which will be called 'Rinku'. "Give her all your love, and she will say thank you.

The film's album has been composed by AR Rahman, while Irshad Kamil has penned the songs. 

Bankrolled by T-Series, Colour Yellow Productions and Cape of Good Films, it will witness an OTT release on December 24, 2021, via Disney+ Hotstar. Apart from the leading trio, the film also stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Dimple Hayathi in supporting roles.
