The series marked the debut of Ranjan Chandel as the director, known for working on "Mukkabaaz" (2018) as co-writer and also made his directorial debut with "Bamfaad" (2020). It is based on the novel "Chaurasi" by Satya Vyas, which portrays the romantic relationship between two couples in the backdrop of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Chandel stated that "I spend most of my time reading literature and poetry from all over the world and as a filmmaker, I want to tell stories of the characters who are rooted in Indian soil, and I connect with the stories where I find high emotional value." The pre-production for the series began in February 2020 but was put on hold due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India in March 2020, which was resumed after the lockdown. The principal photography of the series started in September 2020 at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and filming completed on 4 December 2020.
