Trivia

• The film's title 'Nadaaniyan' is a rare plural form of the Urdu word for foolishness, hinting at the mistakes both lead characters make.
• Director Shauna Gautam shot key scenes at Delhi's Kingdom of Dreams, a cultural complex rarely featured as a main location in Hindi films.
• The male lead's character was originally written as a law student but changed to a history student to allow for more witty historical references.
• Costume designers sourced the socialite's wardrobe from actual Delhi high-society consignment stores for authenticity.
• A cameo by veteran actor Anupam Kher as a grumpy bookstore owner was improvised based on his own suggestion during filming.
• The film's climax scene at the India Gate lawns required special permission due to new restrictions on film shoots at the monument.
• It was among the first mainstream Hindi rom-coms to show the male lead cooking traditional Bengali food, reflecting his background.
