Both Saif Ali Khan and Vidya Balan have voiced their enthusiasm for the film's themes of love and family communication.
French actor Melanie Laurent, known for her roles in 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Now You See Me', is also part of the cast. Laurent shared a long-standing connection with director Batra, having met him over 15 years ago with a shared aspiration to collaborate in Mumbai.
'Long Years Ago' is produced by Ritesh Batra and Adeel Ahmed under their Poetic License banner, in collaboration with Jio Studios and Good Chaos. Batra's directorial credits include 'Our Souls at Night' and 'Photograph'.
