'It's a bold move that will pay off'
A source close to the project told the portal, "It's a deliberate creative decision to cast Bobby and Raghav against type."

"Their chemistry is electric, and Aryan has tapped into a side of them that hasn't been seen before. It's a bold move that's going to pay off."
