Ayushmann has previously worked with Bhumi in films like ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’. With Yami, he made his debut in ‘Vicky Donor’. All three films were blockbusters at the box-office and therefore with this trio coming together, it increases expectations from the movie a lot. Yami has also worked with producer Dinesh Vijan before in ‘Badlapur’ which had become a huge hit all over.

The film has had its fair share of controversy ever since it was talked about. The actor and the director had been accused of plagiarism. The charges were levied by assistant director Kamal Kant Chandra, who has previously worked with Sudhir Mishra. Kamal approached the Bombay High Court and filed a case against ‘Bala’ team stating that they allegedly stole the story of his film ‘Wig’.

Now with the movie going on floors, there’s no clarity as to what happened to the plagiarism row. Was it sorted out of court? Or are Kamal Kant and team unaware of ‘Bala’ going on floors? Well, only time will tell.
