The remake marks the directorial debut of Mukesh Chhabra and will be produced by Fox Star Studios.

“I met Sanjana first during the casting of Rockstar. She was a young and dynamic girl with great energy. After a few years she reconnected for a few ad casting jobs — she came across as a mature young lady and to my surprise she was a fabulous actor,” Chhabra said in a statement.
