Earlier Taapsee had announced the wrap of the movie on her Instagram and wrote "Not sure if I have the time and space to explain how this film actually happened. From the basic storyline, I heard in Chennai 3 years back to actually complete its filming against all odds in these challenging times. This was one hell of a driven team effort! I’m going to reserve the details for later coz I’m sure we have many more battles to fight till the release but what I can say is this is one team that’s gonna do it all with a smile and most effortlessly coz the captain of this ship @akvarious believes in working strictly in between chilling with a bunch of friends on set, instead of the other way round. Producers @pranjalnk @nehaanand21 @rsvpmovies are relentless and don’t have the word ‘quitting’ in their dictionary. @nehapartimatiyanidop whose lens can transform any basic moment into a whistleblowing big screenshot. Writers, cast, art, production design, so on n so forth the list is long.Baaki release ke time kahaaniya bataane mein mazaa ayega. For now, drawing the curtains on #RashmiRocket and moving onwards n upwards coz this Rocket has left us sky-bound!"
