Neena Gupta who is playing a negative role in the film said she had rejected the script because she thought it was similar to something she had done before. "Then I spoke to the producer and he told me about my role. It was very different from what I have done so far, that's why I said yes to it," Neena told PTI.

Dial 100 follows a police officer Nikhil Sood (Manoj Bajpayee), who receives a call on the police helpline from a distressed woman (Neena Gupta) planning to commit suicide. However, while talking to her the officer realises she instead is headed to kill someone else. He soon finds out that the woman has a personal connection to him and his wife (Sakshi Tanwar) and son are in danger.
