Kangana Ranaut's official directorial debut. She had previously co-directed Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2018).
Kangana Ranaut wears a prosthetic nose to enhance her portrayal of the former Prime Minister.
Reflecting on his experience working with Kangana Ranaut, Vishak Nair, who plays Sanjay Gandhi, said, "It felt as if Indira Gandhi herself was directing us. My admiration for Kangana grew as I learned more about her filmmaking skills. Directing, producing, and acting in a movie is no easy feat, but she handles it like a true professional."
Kangana Ranaut put considerable effort into emulating Indira Gandhi's gait, voice modulation, and subtle muscle movements during regular speech. A featurette released before the movie's official debut received widespread praise for her dedication to embodying the former prime minister's persona.
