The film stars an ensemble which also includes Deepika Padukone, Saqib Saleem, Tahir Raj Bhasin and Hardy Sandhu as well. Kapil also revealed that as far as casting was concerned. “It was totally the producer’s decision. Whatever inputs we gave it was on the story level,” says the legendary cricketer.

When asked if she has plans to join Bollywood, he said, “See, I don’t know. She wanted to do something on a project basis and that’s how she got on board. Kabir Khan was like she can work on the film. As of now, she has not spoken about her desire to be a filmmaker or join Bollywood. She is studying right now.
