Ekta has been wanting to work with the director for sometime now and produce an out and out comedy, which will roll sometime next year-end."
Anees bhai has also locked the main lead for the film. "Vicky Kaushal will be essaying the role of the primary hero. Everyone has seen him in varied roles so far and the actor has been wanting to do a good comedy for quite sometime. He had met the filmmaker sometime earlier this year when Bazmee bounced the idea of the project to him. He had liked the idea and now, the script is almost ready. Vicky has given his nod and now, his team is figuring out his dates to get the film rolling." This will also mark Vicky's first association with Ekta. In the meanwhile, Vicky will be busy shooting for the Udham Singh biopic followed by the Sam Maneckshaw biopic.
