Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment banner, the film marks a significant milestone in Kemmu’s cinematic journey. Reflecting on his directorial debut, Kunal divulged in an interview that helming this project was an unforeseen endeavor.
“While I harbored aspirations for such a venture, I abstained from concrete planning. Crafting the screenplay proved to be an enjoyable pursuit, and initially, I envisioned solely performing in the production. However, feedback from those who perused the script suggested a distinct perspective, compelling me to assume the mantle of director,” Kemmu disclosed.
