He confirmed the news to Hindustan Times saying, "My brother/business head Deepak Char got a call from Kumar Mangat Pathak (Co-Producer at Devgn’s production company) and I have been meaning to align forces with them for a while now."

Nagar said that he is playing his YouTube persona in the film. He added that he doesn't consider this appearance to be a full-fledged debut, but rather an extension of his work as a content creator.

"My authentic acting innings will happen when I get the opportunity to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the art unflinchingly. Everything else I do right now, I consider as a special appearance," he told the publication.

Ajay Devgn announced the start of production on 11 December. "Happy to officially begin MayDay in a start-to-finish shooting schedule. Seek blessings from the almighty and my parents. Nothing is complete without the support of all my fans, family and well-wishers," he tweeted.

MayDay also features Rakul Preet Singh, Angira Dhar and Badrinath Ki Dulhania actor Aakanksha Singh, who will play Ajay Devgn's wife. The film releases on 29 April 2022.
