Speaking about the film, Saqib Saleem says that it was great for him to star in a horror comedy as he has not done this ever before. He said, "I had not done a horror comedy before. Also, I get to play this simpleton from a village called Ratori. It was great. I have either been a chocolate boy next door or shown washboard abs or played a sport. Here was a film allowing me to play a simpleton and making me do something I had never done before. It was a great genre to start the shift with."
