Bhat took to Instagram to make the announcement of his first feature film as a producer:
Before announcing this project, AIB revealed in 2019 that they would be ceasing operations until further notice due to problems like lack of funding. The decision was made after some members’ names surfaced in the #MeToo movement.
However, post the controversy Shakya and Joshi have released their comedy specials on Amazon Prime Video India.
