Sources reveal that Sonakshi was supposed to play the main lead but the makers opted for Bhumi Pednekar because she fits their budget and also they feel she suits the part more. The movie is directed by Neeraj Pandey and produced by Vikram Malhotra.

Akshay Kumar has been roped in for the male lead. The movie revolves around Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ campaign. It will be a light-hearted satire on this campaign and will roll in the first half of 2017.
