It also features insights from filmmakers Shoojit Sircar, Amole Gupta as well as casting directors Mukesh Chhabra, Honey Trehan, and Tess Joseph, who have worked closely with child artists during the course of their careers,” a press statement from the makers said.

Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India and Southeast Asia, Prime Video, said, "When we heard the initial pitch for the story, we were eager to delve deeper, because we recognized the relevance of the subject. This is the first time ever that a story about child actors in the Indian entertainment industry has been attempted and we truly believe in the importance of bringing forth such narratives. This also marks our first collaboration with MalaKan Motion Pictures, and we are genuinely thrilled to unite in sharing a unified vision for this project.”
