Development and release
editKhanvilkar had a thought of doing this for around six months, which she shared with Deshpande, who started working on its music. She then approached her choreographer friend Ashish Patil and cinematographer Sanjay Memane, with whom she had previously worked for Chandramukhi (2022).[1] The entire song was shot in a single day.[6]
The song was announced with the poster featuring Khanvilkar and Deshpande on 8 September 2023, along with a short teaser of the music video the following day.[7][8] The song was released on 12 September 2023, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi.[6] Khanvilkar says "the song is a tribute to Ganesha as I make my debut as a producer."[1]
