After 2015, this is the first film of Sooraj Barjatya after 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. In an interview with PTI, Barjatya said, "In this film, I have moved away from all my earlier trappings. There once was a charm that if you name (a character) Prem, the film will work. But I have let go of that. In the pandemic, everything was slipping away, so there was no point holding onto anything. It was liberating for me."

Big B's request

Amitabh Bachchan recently on his show Kaun Banega Crorepati made a request to the audience with folded hands to go and watch the film in the theatres.

"Theatre jakar, ticket khareed kar picture dekhne ka jo maza hai vo kujh aur hi hota hai. Kripya karke jaiyega theatre mein humari tasveere dekhne, aajkal badi maramari chal ri hai, koi ja hi nahi raha hai theatre mein. Haad jodte hain hum aapke, ticket lekar jaiyega (There is no better fun that buying ticket and watching film. Please visit theatre to watch our film, there is a lot of chaos these days, no body is going to the theatre. I fold my hands and request, please buy tickets and go)," Big B said on the show.
