Jagapathy Babu was to be the antagonist character in the film. The film was supposed to mark Javed Akhtar’s return to screenwriting after a massive gap of 15 years. His last film was Shah Rukh Khan’s Don.

As the film is put on the back burner, Ashutosh and Farhan have already moved their focus on their other projects. Ashutosh is still trying to figure out what his next film will be and Farhan is busy with the pre-production of his directorial venture Jee Le Zaraa, which is a road trip movie starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
