While speaking to Lallantop, the filmmaker narrated his side of the story and said, 'I was planning to make Jab We Met with Bobby Deol. When I was making this film, Bobby and I were very good friends. His family… they are very nice people. But Socha Na Tha took five years to make and release. Meanwhile, I was trying to start a new film so Bobby was going to do Jab We Met. Then Socha Na Tha got over but I still didn't make the film for two years because I wanted Bobby to start it.'
He added, 'But he was getting other offers from big directors, so he was waiting for that to happen. He kept postponing my film, but then a time came when I didn't find it correct because a lot of time went by. Because I did Socha Na Tha for five years and I didn't do a film for two years after that, so it was putting financial strain on me. Then I told Bobby, 'Let's not make this film. Let's shake our hands and decide we will not do this film together because then our thing will be affected.'

Abhay Verma and Rasha Thadani come together for a romantic action (Exclusive)
Actors Abhay Verma and Rasha Thadani will be seen sharing screen space for the first time in Layka, Layki , an upcoming new-age action drama directed by Saurabh Gupta . The film marks Gupta's directorial debut for a feature film and comes after his writing work on the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal . Layka, Layki is positioned as a genre-blending action narrative with a contemporary backdrop. While specific plot details are being kept under wraps. Verma, who was recently seen in Munjya , became a rage, and will also be seen in Shah Rukh Khan-led King. In an earlier interview talking about his journey, he had said, "From being a boy from Panipat to a leading hero of Munjya , I think it's too good to be true. I believe this is not just a win for me, but it belongs to every single person from a small town, wondering whether they should dream big or not and whether they should be accepted as an actor or not. As I mentioned, this is not my win but every other person who is dreaming of making it big. In my career, doing different roles is the only satisfaction I get and I only want to say that I am coming from all the stereotypes that industry and people have made, like you don't have to do this or that role. I can play anything; from transgender to terrorist and now a simple boy in Munjya, who ultimately becomes a gentleman, so my intent has always been clear." Rasha Thadani, who made her acting debut earlier this year with Azaad, became a rage courtesy of her special track, Uyi Amma.
