I love the festivals energy bonding  enthusiasm vibrancy the Mumbai City goes with. It's magical and that's how a story was weaved in as there was something which was hurtful for me and I wrote it on a paper. Few years down the lines I wanted to produce it and was asking my director friends to direct it but nobody paid any heed and I was clueless why not. 3 years back I was sharing my grief to my senior friend varun gautam sir he is a writer and director that I want someone to direct what I have written and he instantly said why don't you direct it and next day we started shooting it in real locations of mumbai visarjan in 2017. We shot 7 days in 3 visarjan as sometimes kids were busy sometimes I was shooting. Whenever the team was free we shot it in real locations during visarjan."
