Set in Uttar Pradesh, the show stars Ali Fazal and Shweta Tripathi. "I play a character that is opposite to my screen image," says Fazal. Tripathi adds, "As an artiste, I don't want to limit myself to any genre or language. I want to surprise the audience, and hence, keep raising the bar for myself." There is talk that Farhan might do a cameo.
