In a statement, the director said, “'The Wives is a story that looks beyond the spotlight and into the personal lives that are often overshadowed by fame. It explores relationships, ambition, insecurity and emotional survival in a world driven by image and success. I wanted to tell this story with honesty and sensitivity, and I’m grateful to my cast and crew for bringing so much authenticity to the screen.”

Producer Pranav Jain of PJ Motion Pictures also spoke about the collaborative process. He said, “Collaborating with Madhur sir is always a creatively fulfilling experience. He has a rare ability to tell complex, human stories in a very relatable way. The Wives is bold, thought-provoking and emotionally driven, and I believe it will strike a chord with audiences who enjoy meaningful cinema.”

Bhandarkar recently also addressed speculation regarding the film’s casting. Contrary to reports, Fatima Sana Shaikh is not involved in the project. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he clarified, “The reports around her casting were all untrue. She never signed the film or was roped in to play one of the wives.”
