During a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi actor was asked if the film is based on the life of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni because of the similarity in names. Janhvi Kapoor replied that the film is not based on his life but feels very fortunate that Dhoni let the makers use his name.
