Speaking about the film, Pooja said, "I knew Prabhas was already on board when the makers approached me for this entertaining love story. It has a beautiful role for me and I'm really excited!"

On working with the superstar Prabhas, Pooja who was last seen in Mohenjo Daro said, "Since Mohenjo Daro took two years to complete, people assume I've done a lot of work down South but I'm still a new entrant. I was intimidated by Hrithik since it was my first Hindi film but this time I'm more excited. I've only heard great things about Prabhas and his work ethic." This is who Prabhas is getting married to.

It is learned that Pooja is expected to start the shoot by June-end after Prabhas is free with Saaho In Europe. He is currently working on Saaho with Shraddha Kapoor which is also a Hindi-Telugu bilingual film. Recce for the project is presently underway. The makers will be finalizing several locations in Europe where the period romance will be filmed entirely.
