Taapsee said, "I met Nanda Periyasamy (Rashmi Rocket writer), who had the story with him for this film. He had made a very beautiful AV of the story for my reference. When I saw it, I was honestly shocked because I like watching sports and follow it a lot too, but still, I had no idea about the gender testing issue that the film highlights. I had to Google it. I was completely shocked after I got to know the details about this particular issue."

Written by Periyasamy, Aniruddha Guha and Kanika Dhillon, the film is produced by RSVP and Mango People Media.
