Athiya has not jumped on any project. She will be doing her next film because it is an amazing script and a very entertaining film,” says Suniel.

I don’t know if it comes from the fact that I have worked with Sanjay sir before and that the relationship has evolved. There was something magical,” she says. Shraddha, too, admits that it felt “awesome” working with Mohit again. “When you work with someone for the third time, there’s a special bond,” she says.
