Talking about the project, she described it as a poignant love story set against the backdrop of the partition of India.“All I want to say is: You have no idea what’s coming next! This film is called Main Vaapas Aaunga, and it’s a love story set against the backdrop of Partition. A film that beautifully shows how generations may think differently, live differently, love differently… but somehow, it all leads to the same thing: you have to fall in love! It’s an emotional, timeless film that stays with you long after it’s over.”According to Ekta, the film evokes a feeling of nostalgia and reminds viewers of unfinished conversations, unfulfilled promises, and relationships that continue to linger in the memory long after they end.
