Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the first part featuring five episodes, will start streaming on April 7. The second part will release on April 14.

About her role, Wamiqa said that she saw some popular films of the 1950s and 1960s to prepare for her part. According to IANS, she said, "I have always been a fan of period drama films, especially from the black and white era. There was a time when I used to enjoy such films with my entire family in Doordarshan. When Jubilee was offered to me, I jumped at the offer, it was like reminiscing about the good old days. I got into the skin of the character in Jubilee by watching popular films between the 50s and 60s to take references from the actresses of that time."

She added that she had taken references from yesteryear actors for sketching body language, facial expression and dialogue delivery. The series also stars Aparshakti Khurana, Aditi Rao Hydari, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Sidhant Gupta, Nandish Sandhu, and Ram Kapoor in pivotal roles.
