Mar 26, 2026Producer and writer Gunjan Kuthiala wanted to challenge expectations by casting actors in unexpected roles, such as the "masoom face" Jugal Hansraj in an open marriage relationship, and Bhagyashree as a high-flying executive having unfiltered conversations with her besties. The film also features Kiku Sharda in a romantic role and Gaurav Gera as a geeky US-based IT consultant opposite to homemaker and NRI wife Raima Sen.
The treatment of these courageous subjects is unique and breathlessly relatable, proving that good people can show grey shades too in odd life circumstances.

It's a film that challenges the notion that skin-show is necessary to touch bold subject stories. Gunjan Kuthiala asks, "Which rule book says that we- the common people want to see soft porn to enjoy thought-provoking content?"
