We are running at a rapid pace with 8-10 grand projects in the pipeline. Within a year, expect big announcements coming your way soon from the Lionsgate India Studios’ desk.”

Dhaimade, who earlier directed Tu Hai Mera Sunday (2017) shared, “For me, it’s very critical who is partnering with you in creating the film, since a film is made even before it goes on the floor. All the ingredients that are necessary to put the film together have already been decided. I feel in this aspect Lionsgate India Studios’ vision for the film, along with a stellar cast will be wonderfully refreshing. This is a mother-son relationship that will resonate with everyone irrespective of region, and our casting will help audiences across India connect to a relatable story.”

Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor, who recently made her acting comeback with Juggjugg Jeeyo (2022), added, “When I read the script, I fell in love with it. It goes beyond the regular mother-son story and explores a different side that sets a unique tone to the rom-com genre. I am excited to be part of Lionsgate Studios' first production, in a movie, I believe will touch hearts and remain close to my heart.”

Kaushal, last seen in the political drama Hurdang (2022), said, “The moment I read the script, I knew it’s a special film that I just had to be a part of! It is an ode to all the mothers, their wishes, and their sacrifices! I am really looking forward to working with Milind sir, Lionsgate India Studios and Neetu ji on this special project!”

Shraddha Srinath, known for her roles in southern film industries, shared that she was really fortunate to be part of this project. The actress has one previous Hindi film credit with Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies (2019) with Ali Fazal.

She said, “This is a sweet, warm, delightful script. I remember smiling from ear to ear while reading it. We are all so busy watching and making dark, thrilling, and mind-bending content; there aren't enough films that focus on moments and relationships and the simplicity of life.”

“I'd watched Milind sir's previous work way before I met him and truly enjoyed watching Tu Hai Mera Sunday. I'm glad Lionsgate India Studios sees the film for the gem that it is. I can't wait to breathe life into the character and create magic on screen,” she added.

The studio has previous produced the web-series Hiccups & Hookups (Season 1) (2021), Jugaadistan (2022), and Feels Like Home (2022) for the streaming platform Lionsgate Play in India.
