When contacted, Saurabh Tewari, the producer of the show said, "There is a vital sequence for which we needed a veteran actor. We were looking for someone who has been a part of the Hindi cinema industry for long. It was a scene where the protagonist, Madhubala gets named after her birth on a film set. That's when we thought of Hangal Saab."

However, the makers weren't too sure whether the 97-year-old actor would be able to shoot. "I was rather apprehensive when I got in touch with him and met him. When I told him about the show and the scene, his eyes lit up. I could see how excited he was to come back to a set and shoot. He just told me that he would like to wear his own costume," said Tewari.
