Atul Kasbekar told Mid Day that the film's team is in touch with the legal expert, Anand Desai of DSK Legal. Sharing in detail about the insurance he added, "Insuring a film so far implied guarding the product against unforeseen incidents like the illness of an actor or occurrence of natural calamities leading to delays in the schedule.

Talking about how it would change things for producers and filmmakers he added, "Hypothetically, if a crew member tests positive, the entire unit will have to be quarantined, leading to the shoot being halted. If the film is covered under the insurance plan, the producers will not incur a financial loss stemming from the delay."
