While Bhushan Kumar who will be working with Bib B for the second time is looking forward to collaborating with the megastar once again, producer Savitaraj Hiremath says, "I was thinking of starting my next Bollywood  venture and was looking for an emotional and relevant subject which would connect with the masses and channelize today’s youth  into positive energy. Since last three years I have been looking for such subjects and one of them is a biopic of Vijay Barse who promoted Slum Soccer in India and showcased Indian talent to the world. Jhund is the slum soccer film which shows that there is a Hero in all of us.. and it’s only a matter of opportunity life gives you."

She further adds, "I am very thankful to Mr Amitabh Bachchan for graciously being part of the film. Our Visionary partner Bhushan Kumar who has been delivering content driven cinema is equally passionate making a great team with the iconic director Nagraj Manjule."
