Rishab has been accompanied by his fellow writing associates for two months.
Shetty even disclosed the plan when the movie is set to hit theatres. "We want to give the film a pan-Indian release in April or May next year," he told Deadline. He is planning to begin with the shoot in June as a major part of the shoot requires rainy season, as per the report.
