Starring the Deol brothers along with Shreyas Talpade in the lead, the film is a remake of the famous Marathi film Poshter Boyz that released in 2014.
Talking further about this directorial venture, Shreyas says `We couldn't find a director, so I had to direct it. Jokes apart, everyone around me and especially Sunny paaji suggested that I should direct the film. He said, 'You have a vision and you have seen the film, so why don't you show us the film through your direction'`.
Commenting on working with Sunny Deol, he added `He is a reserved and a shy person, and that makes him unpredictable and intimidating. However, he treated me as a younger brother, and was very protective about me on the sets. He was supportive and listened to my directions. I would be skeptical about explaining a scene to him, but he would readily agree to do it. He never questioned my abilities or my potential as a director. He believed in me and that helped me a lot`.
Being on the other side of the camera worked really well for Shreyas as he found it as a stress-buster and had a great time.
`I am a huge Hrishida fan (Hrishikesh Mukherjee; late director). I have always looked up to his films and works. Also, in my career, I have worked with varied directors, starting from Nagesh Kukunoor to Farah Khan and Shyam Benegal. So, I have tried and incorporated whatever I have learnt from these great directors into my work. Like Nagesh's particularity in every aspect, Farah's 70mm vision, Rohit's knack of making family entertainers, and Shyambabu's freedom to express. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with people from different schools of film-making.` added Shreyas.
