When the director was asked about Sara’s entry in the film, he said, “No one is finalised. The story is in place, work on the screenplay is on. We will get down to casting once we are completely done with writing so that we can give proper narration as opposed to a one-liner.”In the meantime, Sara Ali Khan is busy with her first film Kedarnath.

It is scheduled to enter cinemas on 30th November, 2018.
