Talking about how he landed the project, Ishaan said, “It was certainly not up for picking! I went through the whole process and auditioned for it. I also don’t think there’s enough information out there to label it as conventional or otherwise yet.”

As per latest new around the film, it was to release on OTT because of a tiff between the producers and multiplex owners. Later, the producers refuted the claims about the non-theatrical release.
