Lead actress, Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing a double role in the film. Along with lead actors, Harman and Priyanka, a robot will also be seen playing a major role in the film, along with that, we also get to see a teddy bear which appears to be more than a toy.
Priyanka plays a double role, so she coloured her hair twice, once red to portray the girl from future and then again black. The red-haired look is inspired from Harman Baweja's sister Rowena Baweja's painting which portrays woman of today and tomorrow. The script of Love Story 2050 inspired her to do the painting.
