Riddhima Kapoor Sahni’s entry into Bollywood has generated significant excitement. The daughter of Neetu Kapoor and late actor Rishi Kapoor revealed the casting happened suddenly. She initially consulted her mother and husband Bharat Sahni, whose enthusiasm convinced her to take the opportunity.

Working with her mother created a unique dynamic. Riddhima described their on-screen chemistry as natural and effortless. Her 52-day journey on set involved developing strong bonds with over 200 crew members, which she called a blueprint for her future in filmmaking.

Production Journey and Post-Production

Initially planned for a December 2025 release, the film was postponed to May 2026 to complete final shooting schedules, particularly an elaborate end-credit song choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. Director Ashish R. Mohan revealed that the song features 700 children from schools in Shimla and outside, along with the entire cast. A significant scene with Riddhima remained to be shot in January 2026, along with other patchwork sequences scheduled at Film City.

The production encountered some challenges, including the delay in completing the song sequence due to geopolitical concerns.
