The story of the film unfolds in Hoshiyarpur, Punjab. Sonakshi will be seen in the role of a carefree, free-spirited girl who can go to any lengths when it comes to bringing joy to her family, even if it means sacrificing her own dreams.

Talking about her character in the film, Sinha says, “I am extremely happy to be part of this film which is so close to the world around us, to step into the shoes of a small town girl, and face the hilarious, madcap challenges thrown at her. Full of flavour, fun and emotions, I am so looking forward to beginning this journey.”
