Inspired by true events, Sankalp's vision transported us to that era, immersing us in the tension and thrill. Proud to be part of this story, eagerly anticipating its streaming on Disney + Hotstar".

Before the project went on floors, the actor apparently ensured that the set had various facilities catering to women's needs. This included the provision of nursing rooms to support new mothers, and clean and separate bathrooms that are equipped with menstrual hygiene items. More importantly, he has laid emphasis on having a zero-tolerance policy against misconduct and harassment of any kind. Juhi Talmaki, who is an art director on the film, says that the actor had appointed his business manager Alifiyah Haji to look after the well-being and safety of the female crew members.
