"Before all this happened, a week ago, Shraddha and I had gone somewhere and she told me 'I was very upset with Remo and you because you all didn't offer me this film.' "The script was something else then, which is why sir didn't think about it. She genuinely was emotional about this. But I think it's destiny," the actor told reporters at the trailer launch of the film. The trio earlier collaborated on 2015's "ABCD 2".

Remo said Katrina left the project due to scheduling issues with "Bharat". "We keep thanking Shraddha and say she has saved us. But at one point, we did think 'now what to do'. "It wasn't that she (Katrina) backed out. She had date issues, she had to shoot for 'Bharat' which is why she couldn't shoot with us. We were a bit tense then," the director said. Produced by T-Series and Lizelle D'Souza, the film also stars Nora Fatehi.
