With a 2016 slated release, the film will be shot in Britain and Miami over a period of three months.

Ral is not only planning to infuse different musical influences in the film, but incorporate dance forms to bring the world of dance and music out through camera lens.
He shared that with the film, he will be catering to the world audience.
“I aim to get some of the dancers from ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ to jam for the dance numbers. The film is for the masses, but will be shot in Hinglish and dubbed in Punjabi, Tamil, French, Spanish and Russian since we aim to have a worldwide release,” he added.
Ral has a struck a chord with music lovers with their hook lines turning them into party anthems. They have also doled out music for Bollywood films like “Namastey London”, “Singh Is Kinng”, “Kambakkht Ishq”, “Tanu Weds Manu”, “Yamla Pagla Deewana”, “Bullett Raja” and “Gabbar Is Back”.
