Revealing the process of her coming on board for the film, Ratna has been quoted by Mid-Day saying, “Some months ago, a young actor came to me with a script. Actors making movies can be tricky, so I was cautious as I began reading, but was thoroughly entertained by the end of the script. The story not only had a message but also had a heart. The sheer brilliance of the writing compelled me to immediately green-light this film.”

She further stated that she was drawn to the film more because Jayeshbhai Jordaar speaks about an issue that is close to her heart. For those who have joined in late, Jayeshbhai Jordaar revolves around the life of an ordinary Gujarati man having extraordinary dreams. The film features Ranveer Singh and marks the Bollywood debut of Shalini Pandey.

The film is slated for a 2021 release.
