The film produced by Prakash Jha, is based on the life and struggle of an actress and a writer from the Hindi film industry. Vidya Balan will play the role of the actress opposite Ahuja in the film, reports Bollywood Trade.

"It is my tribute to the cinema of the 50s, when legendary filmmakers like Guru Dutt came out with the most memorable classics. The era also saw the emergence of some great writers," says Mishra.

The film is not particularly inspired from the life story of any particular actor.

"I do know a lot of writers and actors who have had to slog it out the hard way to make a mark in their careers," he adds.
