Development

edit

Initially titled Jannat, it was later renamed Dil Jaise Dhadke... Dhadakne Do.[7]

The show is created by film maker Mahesh Bhatt. Talking about the show, he said, "Our show is basically questioning the narrative that is prevalent among men – to be treated separately. There is a man who believes that this child is a vehicle for the goddess to step into the world. On the other hand, the young compassionate boy says she is just my friend, and no Devi. This is the pitch where the battle takes place".[8]
