On the film, the director had earlier said, "It was a challenging film to write and a difficult one to make.

"It's only once in a while that an actor comes across a story that makes him jump out of his comfort zone. While I have always backed novel stories, 'Anek' pushed me to perform with a renewed zest. It's the kind of script that drives a person to give it your all. I am so proud that we've made a film like this and even more fortunate that I got the chance to headline it. I am thankful to Anubhav Sir for choosing me to tell this special story and Bhushan Sir to be the support system we needed in our journey. Seeing our passion project go out to the world is so heartening.”

This is the second film that Ayushmann Khurrana and Anubhav Sinha have collaborated on. They first worked in ‘Article 15’.
