Directed by ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ fame director Shree Narayan Singh, the film will also feature another leading lady as a lawyer alongside the character played by Shahid. Producer Prernaa Arora has quoted the same to Mumbai Mirror. “Shraddha was keen to come on-board because it is a career-defining role. The film is a love story at its core set in a small town. It is also socially relevant as it highlights the issues of electricity shortage that the common man faces,” Prernaa said.

Well, this should be enough to excite the fans of both Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. This beautiful onscreen pair will be reuniting after sharing screen space earlier in ‘Haider’ (2014).
