Aastha shared, "We covered the front, we'd already spoken to the actor and taken consent for the bare bum. That was done at the stage of casting. Also, Cwaayal is a phenomenal actor, very confident in his body and very confident in his performance. He is extremely focused and very professional. He had a lot of intimacy in the first season, and he has a lot of it in the second season as well along with Naina Bhan (Koel in the show). I spoke to Cwaayal, and he was a little bit nervous as anybody would be, but then when he got into his character and had to shoot it, he was just like 'Okay, let's do it'. We went ahead and shot it. There were a lot of people on set but he was so confident in his body that it made it easier. Also, if you see the way it's been shot, his bum is actually only visible to the camera and not to the people and while he is walking all the people that you are seeing are all people that are in front of him and the front was covered."
