Further talking about the movie, Anurag revealed that the film also has Alaya F and debutant Karan Mehta. “I just needed two very young, good actors with a lot of range – because they play two different characters who are so starkly different. They’re very urban, based in London, in one story and based in the mountains of India in the other. Plus, they had to look like people who could also belong there,” he told Variety. Backed by Good Bad Films, the film will be released theatrically by Zee Studios on Feb. 3.
