Rai further said, "Rather, during the lockdown, I got a lot of time to prep for the upcoming schedule. We will be filming outdoors, but it’s going to be a very organised shoot... We will try to wrap up in the minimum time possible."

Earlier there were reports making the rounds that Akshay only has a special cameo in Atrangi Re. To which Aanand had said, "It’s not a cameo, but a very special character that is important to the narrative."

The music for the film is composed by AR Rahman and the lyrics are penned by Irshad Kamil. This is the first outing of Sara with Akshay, Dhanush and Aanand. Also, this is the first time Khiladi Kumar is working with Rai. Dhanush had earlier worked with the filmmaker in Raanjhanaa alongside Sonam K Ahuja.
