Based on gangsters, the film will have abusive language, which might create not go down well with the censor board.

"I am prepared. It is going to be a long battle and we are ready for that. The dialogues are written by Milap Zaveri. The intention is to get a reaction because it's not the walk and talk film. The film is based on 1970s and the 1980s. The mood is a little reminiscent of the cinema that you experience," Gupta said.
