Recently, director Meghna Gulzar told her experience of narrating the script to Deepika Padukone. "It was a moment of serendipity when I asked for a meeting with Deepika. I had many conversations with myself that she just may not be interested in doing the kind of film that I was taking to her. And she wasn’t. She was looking to do something lighter after three intense films. But I didn’t have a light, romantic script for her. My film was based on acid violence. Of a woman who epitomized immense courage and strength, in the face of crippling adversity. It felt like a perfect fit. Deepika took on the film, the character, and me, in a heartbeat", Meghna said.
Dil Dhadakne Do and Mirzapur actor Vikrant Massey will be seen playing the leading role in the film. He will be playing Deepika's love interest in the film. The film will release on 10th January 2020 and it will clash with Ajay Devgn starrer Tanhaaji: The Usung Hero.
