The project marks the second collaboration for Akhtar and Mehra, post Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the 2013 biopic on legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh.

Speaking about his body transformation, Farhan shared in a media interaction, "It was a challenge to adapt to a way of living that was [at odds with] my healthy lifestyle. Besides monitoring my exercise regimen, I had to change my eating habits and had to consume fats, carbohydrates and starch. That was tough. For me, fitness is a way of life and not just a routine. So [putting on weight] was difficult."

Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar have been in a relationship for over two years. Farhan was previously married to Adhuna Bhabani with whom he has two daughters Akira and Shakya.
