This will be Deepika Padukone's first film just after the marriage and she has not signed any film after the grand success of Padmaavat. Whether talking about Vikrant Massey, he was last seen in films like A Death In The Gunj, Lipstick Under My Burkha and Half Girlfriend. He made his debut with Ranveer Singh starrer Lootera in 2013. After that, he again worked with Ranveer in Dil Dhadakne Do (2015).
