While Ananya is 24, Ayushmann is 38. The actors have an age gap of 14 years. When questioned about romancing a hero who is over a decade older than her, Ananya replied, “This is not today’s issue. The age gap has always been there. I don’t think people should think about their age when watching the film. If they’re thinking of the age then it’s a problem. If two people suit a character then it's okay.”

The film, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, will hit theatres on August 25. Apart from Ayushmann and Ananya, actors like Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Seema Pahwa will also be seen in pivotal roles.
