In the hilarious video, Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt are seen struggling with the chaos of production. Alia finds out the team has lost an actor, frustratedly exclaiming, 'Actors!' Meanwhile, Shaheen is especially irked by Alia's insistence on including a turtle in the movie, which ends up eating the script.
They discuss why they chose this script among the hundreds they read. Alia launches into a long reply, "This story has everything. Romance, heartbreak, girls, boys, teachers, turtle -" only to be cut off by her sister Shaheen, who encapsulates the essence of the script in one phrase, "It's a story you grow up with."
