Speaking on the venture MD Cinevistaas Sunil Mehta said, " It has been 20 years since Cinevistaas first made its foray into the ever growing world of advertsing, entertainment and television. Our foray into features is not only well time but also a natural progression for a company which wishes to turn itself into an entertainment conglomerate. " Anu Malik has scored the music.
