Aditya said that he saw the film about these two guys who are in a position in life, in the same space where they were in love with an older girl. He even said that the hero respected and looked at her in a very sensitive manner. He said that he wanted these two parallels together and thought people would understand it better if there were two guys in the same direction. He said that Dinesh Vijan and Yogesh agreed on the same. He even said that he quite sure about not casting an older man because love at first sight and the referencing with an older man gets awful.
