The film, previously titled Shotgun Shaadi , will revolve around the custom of groom kidnapping prevalent in Bihar, where the grooms are forced to get married on gunpoint to avoid dowry. Malhotra will reportedly play a thug who helps kidnap the grooms. Both actors are undergoing voice and diction training to perfectly get the regional accent right for the film. Malhotra will be seen next in a biopic on Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra while Chopra’s upcoming projects include _Kesari_ with Akshay Kumar, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar , and Namastey England alongside Arjun Kapoor. While the makers have not announced an official release date, the Prashant Singh directorial will hit cinemas in 2019.
