The film is based on The Last Hurrah.

It was reported in 2021 that Kajol will be directed by actor-filmmaker Revathy in a film based on a true story. The title of the film has been announced. Salaam Venky the film has finally gone on floors and the photos have emerged from the sets. In the photos, Kajol is seen wearing a simple saree and is all smiles with Revathy holding the clapperboard.

While sharing the announcement, Kajol captioned her post: "Today we begin the journey of a story that needed to be told, a path that had to be taken, and a life that had to be celebrated. We can’t wait to share this unbelievably true story of #SalaamVenky with you. @revathyasha @suurajsinngh @shra_agrawal @varsha.kukreja.in @bliveprod @take_23_studios."

Kajol stars in a story about a devout mother who overcame adversity.

Based on The Last Hurrah Revathy had earlier said in a statement that Sujata, the character to be played by Kajol, is one of her favourites. She said that it's not only relatable but also motivational. When Suuraj, Shraddha, and Revathy started talking about this movie, Kajol was the first name that sprang to their minds.

The actor-filmmaker further said that Sujata's gorgeous smile and soft yet energizing eyes would make one believe that anything is possible, which is exactly how she is. She is very looking forward to this partnership and to working with Kajol on this touching subject.

While Kajol added that she believes it is a lovely trip that should be shared with everyone, Having Revathy direct me for this story gives her even more confidence in her ability to play Sujata and highlight her qualities.

Kajol's last outing as an actor was Tribhanga which premiered directly on Netflix in 2020. The film also featured Tanve Azmi and Mithila Palkar in the lead roles.
