Described as a revenge drama and an emotionally driven action story rooted in a mother's protective instinct, the film was wrapped in March 2025 and was part of Netflix's 2026 slate. The team released a new poster on August 21, 2026, showing Taapsee against a shadow of Goddess Kali. Taapsee called the film physically demanding and said the team pushed the envelope.
