I have heard four hit songs from him. He said he can definitely do it. My Tejavu film editor is also working on this film. Thank you, our aim is to deliver good work beyond deja vu. After Tejavu I was sure not to make a good mystery thriller again. We talked about many stories. I took 2 months for this story. The fame of producer did not ask me anything. He was very supportive. It will definitely be a landmark movie for everyone."
