Director Sharat Katariya decided to incorporate their accident into the script. "When Sharat saw the take, he felt that the fall symbolised the leads' struggle. So he added the shot in the story."

Dhawan says, "The shoot was exhausting as it required me to cycle for long hours in the scorching heat in Chanderi. We fell off the cycle and landed right near the cliff. The crew immediately rushed to check on us."
