Sharing the news, producer Ronnie Lahiri of Rising Sun Films, posted an Instagram message stating, "Honoured to take forward your legacy Irrfan sir. Worked with a legend like you, And now Babil. If this is not Providence, what is?". Lahiri also shared a few pictures from the set of their new film.

Earlier in April this year in an exclusive interview with The Quint, Sircar had mentioned that he would want to work with Irrfan's son Babil. "Unless I work with Babil the circle won't be complete, redemption will not be there," commented Sircar while reminiscing the beautiful relationship he had with Irrfan.
