editProducer Jayesh Patel acquired the remake of the 2023 Malayalam hit Romancham and approached Sangeeth Sivan to direct the movie. After Sivan came on board, Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade were signed for the lead roles, the former reuniting with the director 19 years after the blockbuster Kya Kool Hain Hum and the latter, 18 years after the blockbuster Apna Sapna Money Money.[6] Sangeeth Sivan passed away in May 2024, while the film was still in post-production.[7]
