In an interview with Zoon, Barun Sobti shared that after his intense drama Rakshak and Kohra, when he read the script of Raat Jawaan Hai he was excited as he was looking for something lighter. He said, "I think the OTT whole industry was getting way too serious and intense with respect to whodunnits and thrillers and stuff like that, all dramatic. This was the absolute right break with that respect I felt on this show. I actually felt pretty lucky to be honest with you."
