The shoot for the film came to a halt in mid-March as the nation went into a lockdown due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The film is helmed by Newton fame director Amit Masurkar and will explore man-wildlife conflict with a plot that revolves around a real-life incident. In November 2018, Tigress Avni, also known as T1, had made headlines when she was shot dead in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district. A classic example of man-animal conflict, Avni’s killing caused outrage among many across the country. The Supreme Court of India had directed the forest department and its officials to first tranquilize and then trap Tigress Avni. However, she allegedly attacked the team which shot her.

Further, as per reports, the producer of the film Vikram Malhotra had reportedly been looking for a strong performer to play the role of a forest official in the film.

Vidya Balan's last release was Anu Menon directorial Shakuntala Devi which premiered on the OTT platform and received rave reviews.
