Hansal Mehta spoke about 'Pralay', a film directed by his son Jai Mehta, and how it went into pre-production. Hansal recalled, "When Ranveer saw his directorial work, he was impressed, then Jai pitched 'Pralay' to him. Once Ranveer liked the idea, we invested in developing it." Hansal clarified, "It isn't an adaptation; Jai and Vishal Kapoor wrote an original story."
