Excited about the new project, Akshay said, "I’m excited to do an all-out romantic love story. It’s refreshing to see a love story being made during a time when such few are being made. It’s also been a while since I’ve made one myself. I am really enjoying the character written for me. It’s deeply layered, challenging and has a variety of shades with a very unique character arch. He is not your quintessential romantic hero and that’s what makes it challenging, yet exciting."
