Recently, speaking about the film and sharing the screen with the Tanu Weds Manu actor, Fatima told Zoom, 'It's a very sweet film. Vivek Soni is an excellent director—I believe he is one of the most giftmong the newer directors. He has a strong visual voice, and when you see his films, you know it's Vivek Soni, which is quite remarkable. Also, I adore Maddy—he is amazing. He's been the country's crush for years, and I think his smile is still the most gorgeous of any actor. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him."
Coming back to Neha, she was last seen as a gang leader in the adventure reality show, Roadies Double X, alongside Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty, Elvish Yadav and Gautam Gulati.
