I always wanted to shoot a film in UP as there is so much to explore here."
The film will be shot in Lucknow and various other cities of the state including Agra, Mathura, Barsana, Gokul, Nandgaon and Noida.
Others seen in pivotal roles in the film are Lucknowite Jaya Bhattacharya along with Ayub Khan, Brijendra Kala, Kanwaljeet Singh, Deepraj Rana, Pankaj Tripathi, Suhasini Mule, Shruti Ulfat, Raju Shrestha, Avinash Sahijawani and Mithlesh Chaturvedi.
"I play Radhey from Mathura, who is a sweet guy who gets caught in some wrong situations," says Shresht.
