The series was shot during peak North Indian winters, with foggy midnight schedules posing their own challenges. Despite the conditions, Nanda describes the set as creatively nurturing. He credits co-writer Gunjit Chopra and directors Sudip Sharma and Faisal Rahman for fostering an environment that encouraged exploration and confidence.
