He comes from a rich Punjabi Hindu family based in Delhi. He meets his classmate Ananya Swaminathan, who hails from a Tamil Brahmin family based in Chennai. They become friends and eventually fall in love and have to battle out the cultural differences between their families to make their relationship work. 

Before Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt came on board for the film, the movie went through multiple rounds of casting. The first choice for the lead pair in the film had been Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra and the film was to be directed by Siddharth Anand. Later, it was announced that Shah Rukh Khan and Asin Thottumkal would play lead roles and the film was to be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
