Adhaar Khurana, Kashin Shetty, Lisha Bajaj, and Nipun Dharmadhikari have written the Hindi remake. According to reports, Baayein Haath Ka Khel is in the space as such family entertainers as Vicky Donor (2012), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), Badhaai Ho (2018), and Bala (2019) to name a few.

Sharing how they decided to remake the Sankashta Kara Ganapathi in Hindi, producer Sunny Khanna said, "I got a call from a friend of mine from South who informed me about this family entertainer film which is being loved by the audience. I saw the film and loved it too. When I showed it to my partner Vikas Sharma, he was of the opinion that Akarsh will be the right director for the film. Then we connected with him and even he loved the film when he saw it. He called us and said he is doing the film and said he doesn't mind turning a producer because it's a good family entertainer with the right message and emotions. So Akarsh is associated with us as a producer and a director.”
