In an interview speaking about romancing Tabu, Ishaan had said, "Because that person is Tabu, it really does half the job for you. I have said this before and I have said this in Dhadak as well, it is always easy for me to play the besotted lover. Because she’s mesmerising, she is and especially in this character. I am really excited for people to see Saaeda Bai."
After being aired by the BBC in the UK and Ireland, the series is all set for its global release on Netflix on October 23, 2020.
