- Parineeti Chopra performed her own stunts in the film, including a scene where she jumps from a moving bus.
- The movie's dialogues were heavily improvised to give a more natural, conversational feel to the romance.
- It was one of the first mainstream Bollywood films to openly discuss live-in relationships and commitment phobia.
