This will be Akshay and Sonam’s second film together. The duo were previously in the lead cast of Thank You (2011).
This film will be Balki’s fifth film as director. He last helmed Ki & Ka, a film that explored gender stereotypes through the romantic relationship between Kiran, a successful businesswoman, and her husband Kabir. The film released earlier this year to mixed reviews.
