board as Sunny Singh. We wanted a certain kind of vulnerability and a
meek demeanor. Manjot is a brilliant actor and he makes a perfect Sunny
Singh. The majority of this film is slated to be shot in Pune and we
have a packed schedule. My DoP has arrived from Chennai and the rest of
the crew members have also reached from Bombay while Manjot will be
flying down from Delhi. We will do a small puja and then roll at break
neck speed”.
