In his show, Maniesh said, "I had told director ki pehle batadena, usne nhi bataya (I had told the director to let me know beforehand, but he didn't tell me). The next morning, I reach the set and he said 'Maniesh we will do it today'. I said ‘I won't do it today'. He asked 'why' and I replied, 'I can't do it today, I can't do the intimate kissing scene today'. He asked me, 'What is your problem with doing it today?' I said, 'Today is my wedding anniversary. Guys, on my wedding anniversary I cannot be kissing another woman, please understand'. So I went to Elli and told her, 'We will shoot it tomorrow okay? For sure, we will do it tomorrow.'"
Maniesh also recalled not telling his wife 'much' about the scene though he had informed her that he will be doing an intimate scene.
JugJugg Jeeyo is produced by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 studios. So far, the makers have released three songs from the film, that is, The Punjaabban Song, Rangi Sari, and Duppata.
