Also starring Neha Sharma, the light-hearted comedy follows a gangster's love story. It marks the directorial debut of Vinnil Markan.

About the film, Markan said: "It is about how we fall in love unknowingly with people we least expect to. It is not a westernised clone, but a true Indian rom-com that's light hearted, sensitive and entertaining."

The movie went on floors in March, and the crew expects to complete the filming by July end.

"We finished our first location. Khotachiwadi (in Mumbai) was a beautiful setting and lent itself so perfectly to the scenes. Both Vivek and Neha were extremely supportive of the gruelling schedule," added Markan.
