On the film, Siddharth Chauhan said, "My burning desire was to transport viewers to a world that mirrored reality, yet danced on the edge of the fantastical. This surreal landscape was entirely born from my imagination, a world untouched by the interpretations and truths of others. Safeguarding the originality of this concept was paramount, ensuring the film remained a wholly unique expression of my vision."
