Who is Rohit Chauhan?"[8] This film marks Jui Bhagwat's big screen debut; she previously appeared in the Marathi show Tumchi Mulgi Kay Karte?[7] Additionally, dancer Gautami Patil makes her film debut in an item song.[9]
Director Merukar drew inspiration from a strange story he had come across on Twitter, which led him to begin working on the script in 2021. Discussing the film's genre, he remarked, "As a viewer, I felt that filmmakers were not delivering good films, especially when the audience is so knowledgeable, and the actors are incredibly talented." Speaking about the casting, Merukar shared that Bhagwat was chosen through auditions, Wagh was his first choice for the film, and regarding Amruta Khanvilkar, he expressed that her potential had not been fully utilized by filmmakers in the past, so she was selected based on the specific criteria he envisioned for the role.[10]
