Production
The film was primarily shot in Fiji and Punjab.[4]
On his film's association with Viacom 18, director Akashdeep said, "It’s very important to have a corporate firm that believes in you. At the end of the day, I don’t have an all-India network for the film’s release. Corporate firms guarantee a good release. Distribution of films is sheer commerce with no creative satisfaction".[4]
