The film, directed by Dev Benegal, also featured Tannishtha Chatterjee and Satish Kaushik.

Abhay said the movie, which was released in India in March 2010, was considered "art house" for the audiences.

"This one was, and still is, waaaaaay too art house for the Indian market. Fun fact- I drove an old 50's truck through the streets of Jaipur and even took a sharp U-turn on a narrow street.

"Why do I remember that? You should try it! Directed by Dev Benegal. #makingwhatbollywouldnt" he added.
