Apart from the two superstars, the makers are planning to get an A-List Bollywood actress on board and speculations are rife that either Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif may be roped in.

The movie is expected to go on floors in January 2017 and the shooting will be wrapped up by the second half of 2017. Given the entire set-up, a lot of time and money will be invested in the post-production.

The period drama releases in Diwali 2018.
