Along with the teaser, the caption read, “Pyaar Manu aur Ranjan ka, bana manuranjan sabhi ka. Aa rahi hai ek shuddh parivarik rom-com film, Parivarik ManuRanjan – A Sony LIV original film” (The love story of Manu and Ranjan becomes a source of entertainment for everyone. Get ready for a wholesome, family-friendly rom-com — a Sony LIV original film).

The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Tripathi and Hydari and is set in Lucknow. Shooting began in the city in June 2025.
