The report citing Group CEO of Reliance Entertainment Shibasish Sarkar revealed: “Vikas is not associated with the edit and post-production.”

Anurag Kayshap who has taken charge of directorial duties following Bahl getting ousted revealed: “As a producer, after substantial investment of time, money and the efforts of all our technicians and talent, it is our responsibility to complete the film with the best possible resources available to us. Anurag is a partner, he has edited films of other Phantom partners in the past. He agreed to take this responsibility on Reliance’s request, and with a professional and commercial understanding. Also, it has been agreed that he will not take any credit.”
