With a talented cast comprising Divyenndu Sharma, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary, viewers are eagerly awaiting the on-screen chemistry and witty banter.

One aspect that has captured the audience's curiosity is the film's setting in Goa. Director Kunal Kemmu, in a recent revelation, shared his thoughts on selecting Goa as the backdrop and his experience filming there.

Kunal Kemmu elaborated on the aspirational aspect of Goa for characters residing in Mumbai, portraying the allure of the coastal paradise as a symbol of excitement and adventure. He said, “When you say Goa everybody in the country knows that it is all about fun, some kind of excitement, and beaches and it kind of resonates. Also, I am telling the story about boys who live in Bombay and to give them something aspirational is so relatable. They were so close to Goa but still could not reach Goa till 20 years"
