Salman Khan Films is producing the film along with Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde of Cine1 Studios. Notebook is directed by Nitin Kakkar. Nitin debuted as a director with Filmistan, which was moderately successful. This was followed by Mitron in 2018, which failed to make a mark critically and commercially.

Other details related to the film are still under wraps. Filming is reportedly underway .

 

Zaheer in an interview to Mumbai Mirror spoke about his aspirations. “The (acting) keeda had bitten me when I was a child. I used to converse in film dialogues and sway to the beat of Bollywood chartbusters whenever the opportunity presented itself. Salman bhai spotted me dancing at my sister’s sangeet and as soon as I got off the stage, he told me, ‘I am launching you, start training’,” he said

Zaheer also recalled how Salman referred to him as hero when he was a kid and said, “I’m told that when I was kid, bhai called up dad one day and asked, ‘Hero kahan hai? Bhejo usko neeche (Where is the hero, send him downstairs)’. When I came running down, he drove me to the studio where he was shooting. That was the first time I was on a film set. Back then, I didn’t know he was a superstar, for me he was just chachu. Years later, he came to my college for an annual function and seeing me wear my hair long, sighed, ‘Yeh drug zone mein chala gaya hai’ (He has gone in to the drug zone now) He was happier when he saw me at the wedding (Zaheer’s sister’s ) —by then I had cut my hair short.”
