According to reports, the film never saw a theatrical release due to technical and legal issues.

Irrfan Khan passed away at 53 in April 2020 after a prolonged battle

with cancer, leaving his legacy behind in his son Babil who aspires to be an actor like his father. Earlier last week, he announced that he had dropped out of college to focus solely on acting, bidding his college friends goodbye in an Instagram post.

“Film BA, dropping out today, with over 120 credits cause I’m giving it all to acting as of now. Goodbye, University of Westminster,” he said.
