As per reports by Bollywood Hungama, the movie will revolve around a gay man, played by Rao, and a lesbian, played by Bhumi stuck, in a lavender marriage. The term that was used in the 1930s however stays relevant, wherein two people get into a marriage of convenience in order to quash rumours or suspicions about either one or both being homosexual or bisexual. Following suit of the first film, this one also throws light on the pressure that the family put on a gay man and a lesbian woman and force them into a marriage.

As it is a controversial topic, the makers are expected to execute it with a sensitive approach with added humour similar to the first one. The movie will be directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni and the shooting will begin in January 2021. The project was initially announced by both the actors on their Twitter handles on October 18, 2020, in rather quirky tweets.
