The film stars Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, both the actors are coming back on the screen after delivering two massive hits in Stree 2 and Animal respectively.

In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Raaj Shaandilyaa opened up about the reason behind casting Triptii and said , “Yes, Triptii was signed even before the release of Animal, as I had seen other films like Laila Majnu and Bulbbul, and had really liked her.”
“Also we were looking for an actress who had not worked with Rajkummar before, and someone who can look the part of the 90s era, and have that girl next door vibe, and Triptii was perfect for the part . And as the film is set in Rishikesh, and since Triptii is also from Uttaranchal, it all fell in the right place to complete the jigsaw puzzle” he added.
Raaj also opened up on his reason for setting the story in the 90s, he said, “Setting the story in 90s was important, as back then there were no cell phones and internet, and CD players were introduced and in our story, a CD of someone’s first night gets stolen. Also I have an idea for the sequel of the film, which starts where this one ends . In today’s age with all the technologies, things have gotten even worse, as it doesn’t take more than a minute for anything to go viral.”
