Siddharth Nigam told us, "The journey has been tough with many struggles and hurdles, but I have learned a lot and matured ahead of time. My journey till date has been amazing. At times, I thought I would never be able to work in a movie because I did not have connection and guidance in the industry. However, I worked with whatever I was offered and even after working in two superhit TV shows called Ashoka and Aladdin when I use to go and meet film people from the film industry, they use to say I am just a TV actor and couldn't act in a movie, but I wanted to break that stigma. TV is not just a television for me, it's a theatre and for an actor, the platform does not matter, all that matters is the project or content. I never thought I would be in a movie, but thanks to Salman sir, he has given me this wonderful opportunity."

Since this movie highlights family bonds, our idea was not only to entertain the audience but also connect with them at a deeper level. It’s for the first time you witness an amalgamation of Bollywood and south actors...a mixture of Balle Balle and Yentamma Yentamma. As a director your job becomes easier if you have talented actors.
