In the film, Janhvi will be seen playing the role of a ghost, who sings and puts grooms to sleep so she can possess the bride.

Meanwhile, talking about the film, Dinesh had earlier said, "For Rooh-Afza we needed actors who could jump into their roles with unabashed conviction. Rajkummar and Varun (Sharma) are phenomenal actors, comedy is a space they excel in and own. For the female lead, we needed someone who could portray two contrasting personalities with ease and Janhvi stood out, she really connected with the script. Her talent is still raw, but she is excited about being moulded. The script is young, refreshing and totally crazy, and she is exactly that!"

Rooh-Afza is slated to release on March 20, 2020.
