On collaborating with Gaurang Doshi, Ameesha said: "Gaurang and I have wanted to associate together on films in the past but somehow that didnt happen. Now that I have got this opportunity, I am glad to be making my web series debut with a good friend and an even better producer. Gaurang always mounts his Bollywood film on a huge canvas and I am sure this time too he will not leave any stone unturned and will do his best to make his mark in digital entertainment too."

Speaking excitedly about getting back to shooting, Prateik Babbar said, "I feel blessed to be shooting again and salute Gaurang for making this project happen. The audience should expect the unexpected, a wild roller-coaster ride and my character will make the ride wilder, so buckle up".

Elli AvrRam, the Swedish-Greek actress based in Mumbai, said:"I dont really know how to express in words how excited I am to get back to a set, to step into a character and just live that character, be that character and just shoot."

"The moment I knew that this project is being produced by Gaurang Sir, I mean I already knew its a brilliant script because he is that one producer who is extremely choosy and he has that brilliant eye for what is great. I feel so blessed and grateful that Sir is putting his belief in me, for letting me be a part of this show."
