According to a report in ETimes, the staff of the hotel refused to let them cast and crew go after the producer of the project claimed to have run out of money. Sukesh Anand said, "I don't think I'll complete the film. We had a harrowing time. The hotel did not let us go. I reached out to Nupur Alankar, a senior actress in the TV industry who is known to help anybody in distress, and she put out a tweet, tagging Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath." He further added, "Eight people, however, have still not been given permission by the hotel to leave the premises. That's understandable as they are the ones who were at the helm there. Why were we actors, technicians, etc locked up? We were certainly not responsible for the producer having run out of money."
While Freddy Daruwala was also stuck in this situation, Meera Chopra and Tanuj Virwani did not have to face it because they had checked out earlier. The report also suggested that most actors might opt-out. However, Tanuj Virwani confirmed that he'll continue to be a part. The producer, Illiyas Guddu was also not available for any comment.
