Whether it is ‘Vijaypath’ or ‘Bholaa’ or ‘De De Pyaar De’, the audience has seen our comfort with each other, and they like that chemistry. So that’s what makes it more interesting for them. And that’s what makes them want to watch us together on screen. They think that, you know, they want us together.
The film’s cast includes Jimmy Sheirgill, Saiee Manjrekar and Shantanu Maheshwari.
