Of the film, Anushka earlier told news agency PTI: "Wedding in the movie is just the backdrop of the story. Phillauri has got shades of drama, craziness and really interesting characters. It is romantic, fun and at the same time very intriguing. The story is set in Phillaur district of Punjab."
Of her co-stars Suraj, Mehreen and Dijit, Anushka said: "It is a fresh casting. Suraj, Diljit and Mehreen have added newness to the film with their personalities because they are not set in their ways."
