In a statement, Nadita Das said about Kapil Sharma, "The film attempts to make visible what¡¯s hidden in plain sight. And for this, the cast and crew has serendipitously come together. One day, Kapil Sharma popped up on my screen! I hadn¡¯t seen his show, but I could see him wholly representing the ¡®common man¡¯, despite not being one anymore! I am certain he will surprise everyone including himself, with his natural candidness. I am looking forward to working again with Shahana, an amazing actor and person. And in Sameer (Nair), have found a rue producing partner."

Kapil Sharma also expressed his eagerness to star in the film. "I am very excited about this project, not because I am doing a film, but because I am doing Nandita Das¡¯ film, whom I have seen both as an actor and a director. She has a very distinct and deep way of looking at things and a keen eye for detailing. So my job as an actor is to just do what she tells me. Her work is very different from mine, and I am happy that the audience will get to see a new side of me. An artist is always thirsty to do something different! The people behind the project, Nandita Das and Sameer Nair, are both extremely passionate and good at what they make, so I am really excited to be doing this film."

Nandita has previously directed films like Manto and Firaaq.
