"Since snow is a key element in the plot, we roll this December," Ajay added.
Casting is underway. Prep will be complete by the end of the month. Prod him on whether his leading actress from B.A.Pass will make an appearance in this film too and he says, "No, Shilpa Shukla will not be a part of this one."
