Kewalya revealed the idea and said that he wanted to address homosexuality with the next film. Ayushmann Khurrana said that he was very happy with this as he needed this film. He further mentioned that he asked the director if there was a kissing scene in the movie. When the director said yes, he said that it was perfect and it needed to be there.
