After Irrfan's announcement of his rare disease, the makers of the film, Bhushan Kumar and Abhinay Deo, had a meeting with Irrfan where the actor unequivocally stated that he wants the film to release in the best way possible.

"My marketing team are putting in more efforts to give the film the best push and help it to reach a wider audience. We have also increased the budget of the release week," he further added.

Talking about Irrfan, Bhushan Kumar said, "Irrfan is an immensely talented actor, he has taken his commitment to an all new level for Blackmail. While Irrfan can't promote the film, we want to leave no stone unturned to give the best to the film."
