Production
Saini had the inspiration for the story when attended a magic show during his college days and enthusiastic reaction of children to show. Regarding the choice to make a children's film, Saini said, "Childhood is universal and hence everybody likes films on children. Moreover, you can make a good story of what you have experienced. We, as children, always wanted that we get a break from school." The film title was registered in 2010, however, Saini could not move ahead due to lack of funds. After finishing the script, he sent the script to Naseeruddin Shah, who responded positively and agreed to do the film. The film was primarily shot in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Viramgam.
