The film was produced by Harman Baweja and Vicky Bahri.

The film was shot largely in the UK, in various locations ranging from London to Eastbourne. The title song was shot at Southampton Pride, with the actors joining the pride march. This was shot using multiple iPhones of various crew members (apart from the film camera) for maximum coverage since retakes were not going to be possible.{{Cite web |last=Aslam |first=Danish |date=November 2, 2024 |title=Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DB35gKVh6X0/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |access-date=2024-11-24 |website=www.instagram.com}}

There was also one schedule in Mumbai, which included a set of Ruby's London apartment.

Kubbra Sait almost had to be recast due to an arm injury just before shooting began. Her scenes were filmed with her arm in limited positions to accommodate the injury. Throughout the movie, her left arm remains mostly static due to this injury.{{Cite web |last=Hungama |first=Bollywood |date=2024-11-05 |title=EXCLUSIVE: Danish Aslam talks about Khwaabon Ka Jhamela and how it breaks taboos: "It's impossible to tell your parents that you broke up because the guy is bad in bed"; opens up on shooting sex scenes: "Our makers are like 'Kapde utaro, yeh karo, wahaan mud jaao'" : Bollywood News - Bollywood Hungama |website=Bollywood Hungama |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/features/exclusive-danish-aslam-talks-khwaabon-ka-jhamela-breaks-taboos-impossible-tell-parents-broke-guy-bad-bed-opens/ |access-date=2024-11-23 |language=en}}
