The upcoming film, Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele, revolves around two homosexual characters. The Zareen Khan and Anshuman Jha-starrer feature a lesbian woman and a gay man leading the narrative. The film's screenplay was among the top 10 at the Singapore Film Market. Oscar-winning No Man's Land (2001) producer Marc Baschet hailed it "as the most unique love story ever."

The film has been directed by Harish Vyas, who earlier helmed Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain (2018), which starred Pankaj Tripathi and Sanjay Mishra. Says Vyas, "I made a documentary on homosexuals a decade ago. I found this lightness in their life, which was missing in films about them. I was keen to add elements of this lightness and fun, just like I had tackled love in old age in Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain." About the actors, he says, "Anshuman has a sensitivity, which I always wanted his character to have. Zareen impressed us with her audition. Their chemistry and pairing will entertain the audience."
