"I and my cast are quite happy with the way the film has shaped up but beyond that there are so many market forces at work that decide the fate of the film at the box-office," Shukla articulates.
Besides the fact that the release of the film has been delayed, what is causing anxiety is the identity crisis it is facing because of being confused with "Chahat-Ek Nasha", which met with a very bad response at the box-office.
Apparently, a theatre in Delhi mistakenly put the title "Chahat-Ek Nasha" with the hoarding of "Chehra", creating some kind of confusion among the audiences.
This apart, Shukla was keen on showing the film to a few select friends prior to its release but the producers were apparently not in favour of holding trials of the film.
However, exporter-turned-producer Dilkhush Doshi, who makes his production debut with the film, isn't worried.
"From what I know, the film is carrying excellent reports in the market. It is unlikely to be confused with any other film, leave alone 'Chahat'. Besides, it is among the few films sold without having a trial for distributors. We did not hold a single trial of the film because the necessity just did not arise. I am sure the film will not go unnoticed at the box-office," Doshi recalls.
