In the film, Ranveer will be seen in a love story musical -- a first for the star, according to a report published in a daily. A source quoted in the report said, "This is Ranveer and Maneesh’s third film together, after 'Band Baaja Baaraat' and 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl'. It’s a love story, but also a musical drama. The music will play a pivotal part in the narrative like it does in Hollywood musicals such as 'La La Land'."
