Talking about her role in the movie, Neena Gupta said: "I am delighted to play a key role in the upcoming film Hindi-Vindi. Hindi is close to my heart, and this film brings Hindi to the forefront of the NRI audience. I am also looking forward to working with the young and talented filmmakers Ali, Jayant, and Aniket. They are passionate about telling interesting stories. I am excited about the shooting in Australia."
The film, directed by Ali Sayed, co-written by Ali Sayed and Jay Sharma, promises an authentic portrayal of heritage and family bonds, and will be shot in Australia.
Ali Sayed, director of Hindi-Vindi added: "Hindi-Vindi is a story that I have been working on for the past four years, and I am incredibly excited to finally share it with the world. This film is close to me and every immigrant and will resonate with audiences worldwide. We are also proud to be working with a talented cast and crew from Australia and India, and we believe that the creative collaboration will showcase the best of both cultures."

The actress raised her daugther Masaba on her own as a single mother and received help from Masaba's father who she only referred to a friend at the time. Neena added that she struggled at times on the work front too.
The actress placed an emphasis on taking in the proper diet, the right amount of exercise, and sleep. She is known for her exercise routines especially her hard core yoga postures.
Parineeti says she hits the gym for a few hours a day and it saddens her that a lot of people are insecure about their body and she wishes she could somehow change that and make them feel better.
The social media platform Twitter made the move after incendiary tweets regarding the West Bengal election results sounded alarm bells towards violence.
Firstly, I am inspired that Sonu made this critical observation. Secondly, in typical Sonu style, he has also thought of a solution and come up with some suggestions for action. Sonu’s suggestion is to both the state and central governments to ensure free education for all children affected by Covid.
