Directed by Irfan Kamal, the film has reportedly been shot across 10 states of India, since it depicts the journey of soldiers from northern sections in the country to the southernmost tip of India. Speaking about portraying a soldier, the actor had previously told Bollywood Hungama, “It puts a tremendous amount of pressure on me. Playing an Indian soldier on the silver screen is a big deal. Fortunately, I have the chance to interact with the soldiers and know about their experiences since they are a part of the cast. I was part of their workout sessions. Matching to the tempo of real soldiers is a feat.” South Indian actress Megha Akash features as the female lead opposite Sooraj Pancholi, which marks her debut in Bollywood. Satellite Shankar is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar, and Ashwin Varde. Apart from Satellite Shankar, Pancholi will also feature in  Time To Dance , scripted by Remo D’Souza. Debutante  Isabelle Kaif , Katrina Kaif’s sister, will feature opposite Pancholi in the film.
