When asked about whether he was apprehensive or not to cast Shahid in a romantic comedy post his serious stint in Haider, Vikas said, "There is no pressure like that. He has hardly done intense roles like Haider. He is a fun actor. This is his space and he enjoyed doing the film. We had a lot of fun."
The film also stars Shahid's real life father Pankaj Kapur, who plays Alia's dad in the film. His half-sister Sanah Kapoor makes her Bollywood debut with the film, playing the bride in the destination wedding drama.
Co-produced by Phantom Films, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Fox Shaandaar will hit theatres on October 22.
