The script has been penned by Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa, and the film is expected to begin production by the end of October.
This project marks a shift for R Madhavan, who has recently been seen in more unconventional roles. Fans will be delighted to see him return to the romantic genre, a space where he has flourished in the past.
His collaboration with Dharmatic Entertainment also brings him back to Dharma Productions, with whom he previously worked on the upcoming C. Shankaran Nair biopic, starring Akshay Kumar. This rom-com will be his second partnership with Netflix, following the success of Decoupled and The Railway Men.
For Fatima Sana Shaikh, this project marks a reunion with Dharmatic and Netflix. Her last outing with the two was in Ajeeb Daastaans, where she appeared in Shashank Khaitan’s short film. This film adds to her growing list of upcoming releases, including Metro…In Dino by Anurag Basu and Ul Jalool Ishq directed by Vibhu Puri.
