Neetu Kapoor looks impressed by a scene that Arif Ali is explaining to her

If anyone was nervous that day it was Rima Jain, debutant Armaan Jain’s mother who arrived first to watch her son give his first shot. The venue was JJ College of Architecture in Mumbai and the shoot commenced with Armaan participating in a college cultural event, belting out the song Tu shining. “Since he had to perform solo, Armaan was nervous, and then seeing his mother there he became all the more nervous. But that was only for the first take! He quickly regained composure and the shot was okayed in the second take itself,” said Ali.
Armaan’s uncles, Randhir and Rajiv Kapoor, aunt Neetu Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor all dropped in at different times with their group of friends to wish the actor luck. “They would basically come, wish him and then sit in front of the monitor and watch the proceedings,” said the director.
South actress Deeksha Seth makes her debut in the film that is produced by Eros International and Illuminati Films. It releases on July 4.
