On the way to the shooting location was the farmhouse of Bollywood mega-star Salman Khan. The crew members were more interested in stealing a look at it while the director was hell-bent on reaching the location on time so that the shooting could begin.
Jyoti Madnani Singh started her career as a costume designer but few of her friends pulled her into acting. After acting in a few short films and TV series, she decided to direct a short film while she continued working as a costume designer.
Actress Varsha Rathore was selected through a video screen test. She came all the way from Jaipur to Mumbai a few days before the shooting with her mother. She stayed at the house of Jyoti Madnani Singh and rehearsed hard for the role under her supervision.
Popular TV actress Ratan Rajput was supposed to play the role of the mother, Kiran Ram. It was because of some family emergency, she wasn't available on the scheduled day of the shooting. Finally, Jyoti Madnani Singh decided to cast Poonam Khandare in the role. Jyoti Madnani Singh was absolutely mesmerised by the natural acting skills of Poonam Khandare.
Jyoti Madnani Singh scouted for more than six months to find a suitable script. In the process, she met a dozen writers until she read the script 'I am not down'. She immediately connected with the script and decided to shoot it.
