The Luka Chuppi actor, who has largely acted in comedy dramas, said yes to the project and is quite ecstatic about the same. A source revealed to the portal that Kartik has already started prepping for the film.

Adding that the film's pre-production is already underway. "The film will be shot at multiple locations in Mumbai in a start-to-finish schedule. Though planned as a month-long schedule, the makers have left a two-week buffer, in case any unforeseen situation arises," the source revealed.
