Singh and Devgn have shared the screen space earlier in the 2019 film De De Pyar De. A report by Hindustan Times quoted Singh saying that she has worked with Devgn in the past and is extremely thrilled to be working with him again as his co-pilot in Mayday. The report quoted a source saying that Devgn, who is also directing the film, immediately thought of Bachchan as the lead when scripting Mayday. Mayday is also produced by Devgn under his banner Ajay Devgn Films. The role of Bachchan has not been revealed yet. Devgn has earlier directed films including Shivaay and U Me Aur Hum, but Mayday is the first film that he will direct starring Bachchan. Devgn is currently shooting for his upcoming film Bhuj, while Amitabh Bachchan is shooting for quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Singh was recently shooting for a Telugu film in Hyderabad. The actor will also be seen alongside Arjun Kapoor, John Abraham, Aditi Rao Hydari, Neena Gupta, and Kanwaljit Singh in an untitled cross-border love story.
