The standup comic also said that the TJMM team sat together before the trailer launch and needed a light-hearted subject to crack some jokes. Bassi further added that the cast thought they could poke fun at the subject.

Following this, Bassi was asked about the sudden change in her acting. He said that he had received a call from filmmaker Luv Ranjan. The comedian revealed that the director approached him about a role, and when Bassey admitted that he was not an actor, the director insisted that it was his responsibility to act as a comedian. The 32-year-old comedian said that he told the director that he would try his best, but how he would act would be the responsibility of the director. And thus Bassi joined the cast of the romantic comedy.
