Talking to reporters here during a promotion programme, Subh, who has also acted in the film, said he himself was one of the "victims" of this incident.

"The story is about four youths who are mistaken for terrorists and arrested by the security personnel," he said.

"Something like this happened to me when I was at Delhi Airport. I was taking pictures, when police detained me and interrogated me for more than eight hours," he said.

Hrishitaa Bhatt, co-producer, said, "I did not act in the film but as the story had a potential, I decided to be a co-producer."
