It is to be noted that a source reveals, "The makers recently narrated the script to Sonam, who has given her nod in principle. Since the script was written with her in mind, they are glad that she has come on board. The story revolves around the female protagonist and how she fights professional gender discrimination. It will also feature a strong male lead; the team is currently on the lookout for an actor. While the announcement is likely to be made in June, the team is hoping to roll the project later this year with a start-to-finish schedule in Mumbai."
