Indrajaal marks the debut production venture of Mrs Sucheta Ajay Nikam's Shivaratna Productions. Ajay Nikam and Mangesh Vaity serve as co-producers.
The film is directed and edited by Jageshhwar Lalita Dhoble, who has previously helmed three acclaimed Marathi feature films - Dha Lekach, Reshtip and Kulswamini.

Director Jageshhwar Lalita Dhoble stated, "It was a challenge to shoot the film as well as to cut the teaser. We wanted to hold back on to the plot and yet, tease the audience about the film's setting and characters. I was a bundle of nerves until last week.

The film's cinematography is by the acclaimed Aakash Sethi, with 8 years of experience and who has shot fiction, documentaries and international projects across diverse formats and cultures.

That gave me a lot of encouragement. Today, when I see the visuals, I feel proud to have worked on Indrajaal. If the scenes of the film look so great on your phones, imagine their impact on the big screen!"
