Filming of the movie was planned to finish by early 2020 but the pandemic shutdowns delayed the process while the filming was on the verge of getting done. Then, the production resumed in Los Angeles after several months. Six days of filming were planned to wrap up the film but due to Covid-19 restrictions, those 6 days turned into three weeks but the filming was completed safely. Some part of LA was also featured in another musical comedy Peacock’s Take Note.
