The film is written by Rai's longtime collaborator and National Award-winning screenwriter Himanshu Sharma, known for Zero, Raanjhanaa and the Tanu Weds Manu franchise.
Raksha Bandhan is described as a special tale which celebrates relationships in the most beautiful way and was announced last year by Akshay on the occasion of Rakhi. This is the second collaboration of the actor with Rai after Atrangi Re that also stars Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan in the lead.
