The story traces RJ Alfaaz (Durrani) and Archana (Thapa) as they fall in love over Whatsapp messages. Since the film sees the protagonists meeting each other only in the climax scene, Onir ensured the lead actors did not cross each other's paths throughout the shoot. It was only during the shoot of the climax scene that the director brought the two actors face-to-face.
