The movie also stars Vijay Raaz, Indira Tiwari, Seema Pahwa, and has Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi in extended cameos. It also marks the Bollywood debut of TV actor-dancer Shantanu Maheshwari. In an Instagram post earlier this year, Alia summed up her experience of working with Sanjay. “Being directed by Sir has been a dream all my life, but I don’t think anything would have prepared me for the journey I was on for these years… I walk out of this set a diff person today! I love you, sir! Thank you for being you… There is truly no one like you.”
