The film, directed by Shoojit Sircar, will be shot on locations mostly in the old parts Lucknow. The film has been written by Juhi Chaturvedi of Piku fame.

"When Shoojit showed him the look sketch, he was excited to work on the film, taking it on as a new challenge. He is required to sit down with the make-up team for hours before starting the shoot. An international crew has come on board to work on the appearance," a source quoted.

Gulabo Sitabo, which also stars Ayushmann Khurrana, will be released on April 24, 2020.
