Elaborating his piece of mind on the cop drama genre, Angad Bedi added that there have been many gangster films, and stories revolving around the underworld. Bedi said that the objective of Mum Bhai is to tap the smaller towns because it is an engaging story that can appeal to them. Giving a special mention to producer Ekta Kapoor's vision, Bedi stated that she has the ability to balance both rural and urban audiences. Calling his collaboration with Ekta "fascinating", Bedi said that she gives the actor a free hand.
