While the details of the star cast are being kept under wraps, the makers are planning to cast a popular actor from the Gen Y lot and the younger generation of superstars. The story of the book revolves around breaking the Indian stereotypes attached to professions like MBA, Doctors and Engineers, showcasing a clash with the young concept of start-ups. The said film is said to be produced under the banner RSVP films by Ronnie Screwvala as well as Roy Kapur Films by Siddharth Roy Kapur. Taking cue from his own life, Varun Agarwal is a young entrepreneur who has presented the character of Anu Aunty as an interfering neighbourhood aunty who constantly pokes her nose into other peoples business, bringing forth the concept of Chaar log kya kahenge. Breaking away from the same, Varun decided to take charge of his life despite the conventional mindset all around him and co-founded the Alma Mater with school friend Rohan Malhotra, that creates outfits and accessories for educational alumni in India. The company and the book both turned out to be super successful. While Nitesh maintains silence on the same, reports claim that the spokesperson of Roy Kapur Films have confirmed the collaboration with Nitesh Tiwari on the same.
