The 83 producer Vishnu Vardhan Induri spoke of how he brought directors on boards. It took a lot of convincing to pitch John Mathew Mathan the fame of Sarfarosh (1999). He also approached Assamese director Manju Borah with aim of the project reaching a pan-India audience. The makers are planning to go on the floor by the second or third quarter of 2023. One nation will release digitally primarily in Hindi which will be dubbed into various languages.
