- A key romantic scene was filmed at a real, rarely visited flower valley in Uttarakhand, requiring a two-day trek for the crew.
- The lead actors did not meet before their first on-screen encounter, to capture genuine first reactions.
- The soundtrack features a folk song from the Braj region, re-orchestrated with subtle electronic elements.
