He said that the film was his first digital film. While penning the script he stated he had to change many scenes of the film because he felt they were becoming too similar to his previous film, Jab We Met. As for the central female lead, I thought I would cast someone with some experience of life, someone who had probably been through some relationships. And then it all settled down to this journey of two characters. And over time, it changed form and genres until I just gave up.

On the story he added, 'Some years ago, I made a half-hour episode for a TV series (1999 for Zee TV's Rishtey starring Aditya Srivastava and Kartika Rane) and that's where I first got a hint for this story. But with Highway, there was something very subtle, yet something very influential'. Usually you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. There was something in it that didn't die.

In an interview with The Telegraph, director Imtiaz Ali stated, ' Highway has been a story that has stayed with me for 15 years.

Reuben Israel as Manik Kumar Tripathi, VeeraвЂ™s father.

She watches them play, making peace with both the man she loved and their mutual childhood forms.

Closing her eyes, she sees her nine-year-old self playing happily on the hillside. The film ends with Veera looking at the mountains, then the sky (remembering Mahabir). She leaves the house and goes to live in the mountains where she starts her own factory, buys a house and lives there. She yells and breaks down as she asks her father why he warned her only about dangers posed by outsiders, while the real threat was from insiders, the people who had surrounded her since childhood. Finally she feels physically better and confronts her uncle who molested her as a child, in front of her family. She is later brought back to her parents' house, where she recovers from the emotionally draining experience while surrounded by her family members, including her fiancГ©.

It is later revealed that Mahabir is killed on the spot. But the very next morning, police arrive and, during the chaos, shoot Mahabir, to which Veera reacts emotionally and strongly.

Both sleep peacefully that night, free from their respective haunting pasts. Mahabir becomes emotional seeing the way Veera cares for him, reminding him of his mother. They stay in a hilltop house and Veera reveals that one of her many crazy dreams was always to have a small home in the mountains. Together, they travel and he starts to fall in love with her. However, Veera refuses and insists on staying with Mahabir. He tries to leave her at a police station in one of the small mountainous towns they stop in. Mahabir slowly lets down his guard and begins to care for Veera, and his anger fades away slowly. His father abused both, him when he was a young child, and his mother who was used as a sex slave by the rich landlords. Slowly, she unravels Mahabir's story in bits and pieces. She views the abduction as a blessing in disguise, since she finally has the chance to experience life and find herself. Veera becomes comfortable with her captors, to the point that she confides in Mahabir the horrors of her childhood, when she was sexually abused by her own uncle as a nine-year-old. As the days go by, Veera finds peace and a new-found freedom, which confuses and frustrates Mahabir. She concludes that she loves the journey and doesn't want to go back to her family and old life. Eventually, when the police forcefully search the truck, Veera, surprising even herself, hides. The men continuously move Veera through different cities, to avoid being tracked by police. However, Mahabir Bhati ( Randeep Hooda), one of the abductors, is willing to do whatever it takes to see this through. The gang of abductors start to panic when they find out that her father has links in the government. One day before her wedding, she goes on a drive with Vinay - her fiancГ© whom she does not love - and is abducted from a petrol station off a highway, while Vinay sits in the car convulsed with fear.
