Earlier, actress Shraddha Kapoor was on board the project and had even shot some parts for it. However, she had to leave the project midway owing to date issues. The film was initially set to release in September 2020, but due to the deadly novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed. 

The film will now hit the screens on March 26, 2021. 

Parineeti Chopra was last seen in The Girl On The Train - a Netflix release.
