The film's shooting is currently taking place in Varanasi.

Talking about the project, Viineet said: "I'm really excited for this film. The script is very interesting and something very different for me. Also I'm glad that I'm shooting in Varanasi which is my hometown and the shoot was very well timed. Looking forward to shoot the film in my hometown and then in Lucknow."

Directed by Susi Ganeshan, the remake also features Urvashi Rautela, who will be seen playing the love interest of Viineet.
