Production
Mamta Yash Patnaik, Producer and Chief Creative Director of Beyond Dreams Production house and co-founder of Inspire films production house says "The audiences are evolving with each passing day. So the content needs to evolve too. The same emotions have to be told in a new refreshing manner which will connect with the youth. We wanted to give a different show not only in terms of content but also make it visually different. The key was to have a play out which is emotional and still not look like any GEC soap."[18]
Yash A Patnaik, Chairman and Managing Director of Beyond Dreams Production house added "It's very exciting to produce youth shows because then you're not doing the regular things that are going on these days. You can break conventions and make your own rules with youth shows. It's a very unexplored space."[19]
