However, Siddharth informed him that he would not be directing the film because he was busy with Maharaj and would instead find another director. Junaid then decided to seek a second opinion from his father and recalled how Aamir insisted on producing the film immediately after hearing the narration. Junaid remembered Aamir’s emotional plea to Siddharth, which the filmmaker could not refuse. He said, “So he requested to let him produce it. Mere bete ke liye mujhe ek chance mil raha hai please (So he requested them to let him produce it. ‘Please, I’m getting one chance for my son’).”Junaid further added, “Papa is a fantastic producer, but what ends up happening is it takes 5 years to make it. So then I realised that if I take it to dad, he will be like I will produce it and then I will have one film in 5 years. Which is great for him, but I am just starting out. Dad is dying to make another film with me, but I am like, in a bit. He gets nervous when he’s not in charge. Even with Maharaj, he was like I don’t know why you’re doing this. Are you sure it’s the right film for you? With Loveyapa, he was a little relaxed.”
