"It's a slice-of-life comedy about the aspirations and struggles of Delhi's middle class. Irrfan gave his nod seven months ago, Saba came on board last month," a source close to the development was quoted as saying, reports Mumbai Mirror.

"Saket and his co-writer Zeenat Lakhani have spent nearly a year-and-a-half writing the script. The entire film would be shot in a two-month schedule in Delhi which kicks off in August," the source added.
