Thamma director Aditya Sarpotdar, who also helmed the 2024 horror comedy Munjya, recently opened up about the film and how it was initially a different storyline. He revealed that Shraddha Kapoor was finalised to play a lesbian character named Bittu in the film, before he ultimately decided against it.

Aditya, during an interview with Moviefied, shared, "This was the original story. Yogesh Chandekar, the writer, had written this film with a female perspective and a female protagonist. Bittu was a girl then. She’s in love with her best friend. She’s a lesbian. Nobody understands her. Only Rajji understands her. She tells Rajji, ‘I’m in love with my best friend, nobody would get that.’ And then, Munjya enters the picture, and she defends her best friend."
