The actor’s character, Zafar, looks determined and fearless in the poster, and the shades of red in the background suggest a multitude of things. The film is also Dhawan’s fourth collaboration with Alia Bhatt after Student of the Year, Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya and Badrinath... The films done by the pair have done extremely well at the box office. We will also see the coming together of Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt almost after two decades.
The film has been produced by Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala, Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta, and co-produced by Fox Star Studios.
Principal photography of the film began in April 2018 and it is slated to release on April 2019.
