News of looking out for a female lead became a hot topic when film’s producer Vijay Galani announced Vidyut’s name for the film. In earlier reports, Galani had hinted that negotiations were on with a popular actress who will be taking charge of a series of incidents in the film. 

A source quoted in a report published in DNA said, “Shruti was approached with the script some time ago. She had loved the basic concept of the film, which is about an NRI who comes back to his country and how things change for him. She had verbally given her nod to the project but hadn’t signed on the dotted line. She has finally locked her dates for the film now.”

This will not be the first time when Shruti and Vidyut will work together as the two have already worked on a film titled Yaara, that is yet to release.
