Adding, Rakul said that she checked with the film’s crew in Mumbai and figured that he might have come in contact with someone infected while she was shooting in Hyderabad. She shared that she was still on the runway when she got the call about Arjun’s reports being tested positive. She concluded and said that if she would have been known about her co-actors diagnosis half an hour before, she would have not boarded the flight to Mumbai and instead would have stayed in Hyderabad to complete her shooting. 

The Yaariyan actress said that after getting to know about Arjun’s condition, she called up her Telugu film producer to advance the shoots. Meanwhile, the actress headed back to Hyderabad on September 9. Arjun and Rakul’s film also stars other actors like Kanwaljit Singh, Neena Gupta, John Abraham, and Aditi Rao Hydari in special roles. The film is a cross border love story with certain portions set in the old days. The film will mark the directorial debut of Kaashvie Nair and is co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani, and John Abraham.
