Speaking about the project, director Khaitan had earlier said, “Rannbhoomi is a warrior film, which showcases love, relationships, sacrifices, revenge, and heroism. I remember, I began developing it in December 2015 and shared the idea with Varun, who got excited about it. Now, Karan has given us the wings to fly and we are excited to turn this dream into a reality,” as  reported by DNA. _Rannbhoomi_ will be Varun’s third collaboration with Khaitan and Johar after the two films in the Dulhania franchise.
