Priyanshu Chatterjee will be seen in the lead role of Rony. Who plays Jony is suspense. There were some media reports that the producer had a fall out with the director. But this is what the producer had to say. "There is no fallout with the director. The product/movie has to be competitive and entertaining. It didn't meet my expectations. After a mutual discussion, we amicably parted ways. I went ahead and re-shot 50% of new scenes and dialogues. Now the audience will decide."
