Confirming Jacqueline’s casting, producer Ajay Kapoor said, “We are excited to have Jacqueline on board as she is someone the youth relates to and has an amazing screen presence. This is the first time Jacqueline and Kartik have been cast together and we are confident that the audience will enjoy watching this fresh pair.”
The film is set to begin production in October and the makers are looking at releasing it in the first half of 2019.
