Mira Nair's nephew Ishaan Nair is making his debut as a director and he had finalized Neil Bhoopalam for the lead role. It's an international project, which Mira Nair is going to represent.

He also wanted some changes in the script. Mira got upset with these demands and asked Ishaan to cast someone else. So a new boy was finalised to play the lead at the last minute.
