"I would hate to say that it's shelved. What I will say is that it has been put on the back burner. It is a film that will happen. Again, I don't know when it will be. But it's too delicious a script and there's so much work that has already been done on it," Farhan shared.

The filmmaker revealed that he has already finished scouting locations and recorded music for the film. However, he hinted that the original star cast may not be final anymore, adding, "I can't comment on the cast anymore, like what that will be and when that will land. But will the film happen?
