In the video, Kriti Sanon can be seen sitting on a green couch and talking about her reel family. She is dressed in a black body-fit outfit. The filmmakers have captured the behind-the-scenes video in order to introduce significant characters in the movie. Kriti Sanon kicks off the video by saying, "Mimi's family is actually very very interesting. My mother is someone, who keeps taunting me. She is a very mummy mummy. The way Supriya ma’am did that character, she completely flipped it. There are so many things about her that are like my mother. So, I actually was seeing my mom in her". 

The video continues as the film's helmer, Laxman Utekar introduces Mimi's father. He says, "I decided that Mimi's father will be a singer". Sanon continued, "Mimi's father is like her support. I love that Mimi is more attached to her father". Speaking about her Marathi co-actor, Sai Tamhankar, Sanon says, "I would actually call Sai a family as she is playing Shama, who is my best friend. Shama is that one pillar who stands with Mimi throughout". She continues praising the actors including Pankaj Tripathi. She jokingly adds, "I think I should just take him in my family now". The video continues with the actors having fun on the sets of the film. Sanon concludes the video by saying, "Every single character, actor, I think its been teamwork in a sense where I don't see anyone else the character, but them".
