In an interview with Film Companion Janhvi Kapoor talked about Boney's film debut. She said, “I said, ‘Do it. Who at that age gets a chance to try a hand at a new career?’ I really think if he didn’t have the pressure of taking care of his father’s business and brothers’ careers, he would have tried acting. You can tell. After work, he used to watch old music videos and act it out, and I remember mom (Sridevi) would be like, ‘I am so glad that you didn’t become an actor, you’ll be so vain.’”

Apart from Boney, Luv Ranjan's untitled project, also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia. The film recently wrapped up its Delhi, Mumbai and Spain schedules.
