In one segment, Abhishek is heard saying: “Ayushmann suggested this title for the film.”

After which, Ayushmann is seen explaining as to why he chose such a title.

“Chandigarh was not explored that much and I could just give that authentic flavour because I have been born and brought up in Chandigarh,” he said.
