It's a brilliant thriller and I think all actors have had a wish to act in a black-and-white film sometime, and with this it has got fulfilled really well. The grand dances and the dramatic scenes have been an amazing experience to shoot in a beautiful place," she added.

"My character in the film is that of an actress who is a newcomer while Manishaji is from an earlier era. It's a story about three women, who are actresses. Jackie Shroff is playing a producer. So we've tried to showcase typical aspects of our industry in a subtle manner," said Hrishita Bhatt.

There are several stories fitted inside this story. As soon as we all were on board, we got involved in research about the previous era of films to know what interesting element we could incorporate in our personality, look and persona."

The film had got delayed due to certain reasons, but is scheduled to release in August. It is directed by Rohit Kaushik.
