Bhardwaj has stepped in the director’s shoes owing to creative differences with Trehan.

“Due to different artistic visions of the film, Honey (Trehan) and I jointly came to the decision that it would be best if I took over as director and saw it through to the end,” Bhardwaj said in a statement.

Sharing similar views, Trehan said, “Owing to our differences in creative understanding, we have mutually and amicably decided that it would be best for our film if Vishal sir took over as director.” 

Trehan will direct another project in the near future to be produced by VB Pictures and KriArj Entertainment.

It’s a great collaboration, it’s a decision that Vishal Sir have taken for the betterment of the film and all of us,” Prerna Arora of KriArj Entertainment said.
