Elli has done a lot of theatre in Sweden too. We had approached a few known female actors for the lead opposite Manish but later we decided to cast a new face. We chose Elli through auditions because she fit the bill perfectly, Varma said in a statement. Set in Delhi, the film is a comic thriller about the life of a Punjabi computer geek Mickey, who plans a con of a lifetime.
