While Gabbi is a frequent face in the digital medium, having featured in Grahan (2021) and Mai: A Mother's Rage (2022), she notes that the show will mark her first as a lead. "Vishal sir has entrusted me with so much already, and now, he has given me my first show as a lead," she says. The actor will be joined by Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Neena Gupta on the project. Filming the suspense thriller in Manali is turning out to be a learning experience for Gabbi, as she says, "I'm experiencing how much it takes to lead a series. I feel like I am in a school and learning something new every day."
