It is Rajkummar’s second collaboration with Dinesh Vijan after the horror comedy Stree which hits theatres on  Aug 31st

Raj plays a struggling Gujarati businessman and Mouni a Mumbai girl who moves to Ahmedabad after marrying him. “She’s a simple housewife, living in a lower-middle-class locality, feisty and crazy about Raj. She’s by his side through his struggle and pushes him to go to China when the opportunity calls. Raj, who wants to give her the best, crosses the Great Wall hoping to become a successful entrepreneur. It’s the couple’s fascinating journey informs the source

Dinesh is excited to reunite with the versatile Rajkummar and have the “sensual and sensitive” Mouni on board. “We wanted someone who’d connect with the heartland and Mouni, a typical Indian beauty, has a huge fan following. She has a strong personality but gentle eyes and is a good dancer which is essential for the role as her character has a passion for classical Indian dance having learnt it. She has started working on her Gujarati dialect. Raj will start prep soon and knowing the chameleon that he is, I’m sure he’ll quickly get under the skin of the character,” informs Dinesh.
