Speaking about the title of the film, Anurag told the daily that according to North Indian slang, the term 'Bamfaad' implies an explosion, which according to Anurag, was the perfect term to refer to his lead pair. “Bamfaad is a North Indian slang for an explosion and aptly describes these characters and their world.” The filmmaker also stated that a month-long workshop was held before the actual shoot for Bamfaad began.

Kashyap also stated that the roles are tailor-made for the lead pair. On casting newcomers, he said, “We met some experienced actors but eventually zeroed in on them. Shalini has done some films down South but this will be her first Hindi film as the lead. Aditya comes from a film background, both his parents are big names, yet he surrendered himself to my vision completely. We had a one-month workshop before the film went on the floors and Aditya accompanied me on my recee as well. Both are fantastic actors and very involved with the project.”
Bamfaad is a love story based in the city of Allahabad and is yet to get a release date.
