The film stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, who previously worked together in the 1985 film Geraftaar. Speaking about working with the two icons of Indian cinema, Nag told Film Companion that he felt it was "silly" to direct them about their performance. “I have no idea how to deal with Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan. I always find it very silly to try to tell them anything about their acting or performance. Especially to Mr Bachchan. I started my journey with him for this film. The first day of shooting was with him. And I was just clueless. I think it's been a long time since I've shot anything, it's been about two years and then the first person I had to direct was Amitabh Bachchan. I was like, 'What can I say?' Maybe, 'Sir, slow down?' It sounded silly," she said.
