While promoting his comedy gig for Prime Video's One Mic Stand, Johar had told PTI in an interview that his upcoming directorial venture was "not just rom-com but more of a family dramedy". "It's a family film - there's drama, there's comedy but there are a lot of internal family dynamics, which allow you to not slot it as just a rom-com," the filmmaker had said in October.
