In a meeting a month ago, Nikkhil had let us know that the film would go on floors on January 4 one year from now, however a source up to date educates”The film was originally supposed to start rolling by September-end. Due to a few production issues, it got delayed. Kriti has already allocated her January dates for another project. She was left with no option but to opt out of the film.”
