Alia announced the news by sharing a post on Instagram handle on Friday which featured both the actors sitting on their respective chairs with their back to the camera. Diljit’s chair had "Sings about Kudi" written on it while the back of Alia’s chair read, "The Said 'Kudi'", in a reference to Udta Punjab where Diljit sang the popular song ‘Ikk kudi jida naam mohabbat’. Alia’s post was captioned, "chairs say it all.

The film follows the journey of Alia’s character, who takes extraordinary measures to get her brother out of prison. It is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt and Soumen Mishra.

Diljit made his Hindi cinema debut in 2016 with Udta Punjab where he was paired opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film, directed by Abhishek Chaubey, also featured Shahid Kapoor in the lead role.

Alia’s last big screen outings were Karan’s directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani opposite Ranveer Singh and her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone, which released last year.
