Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's last film Dil Bechara will also mark the debut of his leading lady Sanjana Sanghi along with the debut of Mukesh Chhabra as a director. While Chhabra and Sushant are old friends and have been together since Sushant's first film, Sanjana met Sushant for the first time for the film's reading session in a workshop by Mukesh. Both the actors who are academic achievers hit it off immediately over their love for learning and books.

Sanjana describes the first meeting over a script reading session, "We both, nerds, had read the script down to its last word respectively, and both our copies looked like they were tattered old novels that had aged over years, with post-it marks, and added notes - the works. I was a bundle of nerves. Mukesh asked me to just relax, and we all jumped right in."
