During the trailer launch, Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra said that through Jabariya Jodi, which talks about groom kidnapping, isn't preachy or loaded with any serious lecture. The actor further added the film gives a comical spin to a practice prevalent in Bihar. "It's a relatable story to which we have given a comical turn. There is also a message on dowry in a fun way. This is a love story which both Parineeti and I haven't done before."

Parineeti Chopra said the film doesn't aim to send across a social message and hence has taken a comic route. "We are not giving any serious lecture or message through this film. We are just showing you that such a thing happens in India, but because we love watching comedies, we have given it a comical spin."

Parineeti Chopra further added that the duo received a lot of love as a pair for the film and was particularly careful in choosing their next. "So while we used to talk about working together again, we did not go for those films because we wanted to do something extremely different from Hasee Toh Phasee."

"We wanted to do a love story, a story with that kind of chemistry but in a different world. When this film came, Sid called me and said we should do this film and I should talk to Ekta," Parineeti Chopra added. 

For the unversed, Jabariya Jodi, directed by Prashant Singh, starring Sidharth Malhotra as Abhay Singh and Parineeti Chopra as Babli Yadav is an entertaining, quirky film around the concept of Pakadwa Shaadis.
