Production details indicate the film features an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Raghav Juyal. Reports noted that filming for a dance sequence involving Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan has commenced in Mumbai. Director Siddharth Anand has used social media to tease the project with cryptic posts, such as “It’s” and “Time For The World”. These messages have generated anticipation as they coincide with Shah Rukh Khan’s 61st birthday on November 2. Industry reports suggest a major announcement, such as a teaser or character poster, may be released at midnight to showcase a unique new look for the actor. ~~Some reports further suggest a potential song release featuring vocals by Arijit Singh.~~ Phars Film has been announced as the international distributor.
