Badhaai Do helmed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni revolves around a cop Shardul (Rajkummar Rao) and a physical education teacher Sumi (Bhumi Pednekar) who enter into a lavender marriage to hide their respective homosexualities. The film marks the Bollywood debut of newbie Chum Darang and stars Gulshan Devaiah in an extended guest appearance.

Badhaai Do marks Rajkummar Rao's first collaboration with Bhumi Pednekar. Speaking about sharing screen space with her, Rao said in an interview with India Today, "I think she is very hard working. She is very sincere and has a huge heart. We have pulled her leg a lot and she is such a sport. Bhumi always participates, which is amazing. It is an amazing characteristic to have. She is a brilliant performer - we all know that. But the way we got to know her through this film was the Bhumi I never would have ever imagined."
