Recently, debutant director Kunal Kemmu opened up about choosing Goa as the backdrop and also shared his experience shooting in Goa. The filmmaker said, "I love Goa, I have been there many times to shoot films and it is the most relatable place. When you say Goa everybody in the country knows that it is all about fun, some kind of excitement, and beaches and it kind of resonates. Also, I am telling the story about boys who live in Bombay and to give them something aspirational is so relatable. They were so close to Goa but still could not reach Goa till 20 years"
