In an interview with IANS, Abhay Verma revealed, “Both The Archies and Safed were happening at the same time. I chose Safed over The Archies. I was in the process of The Archies, but I really wanted to do Safed. I had auditioned for The Archies and had met Zoya. But, Safed ka ho hi gaya tha toh, I decided to go with the latter (I got Safed, so I decided to go with it).”
