The musical play is written and directed by filmmaker and theatre personality Gajendra Ahire. Music for the production has been composed by Anu Malik. This marks the first time the composer is creating music for a stage play.

Singers Shaan, Sukhwinder Singh, and Anandi Joshi have lent their voices to the songs. Lyrics for the play have been written by Kausar Munir, while choreography is handled by Chirag Aggarwal.

'Theatre is where my journey as an actor truly began, and every time I return to the stage it feels like coming home. 'Jaane Pehchaane Anjaane' is a deeply human story that reflects the emotional contradictions of the world we live in today. Collaborating with such an extraordinary creative team makes this production incredibly special for me. I believe audiences will see themselves in this story,' Kher said, as per a release.

Composer Anu Malik also spoke about working on the musical score for the play. He said music plays an important role in bringing out emotions in the story.

'Music has the power to express emotions that words sometimes cannot. When I first heard the story of 'Jaane Pehchaane Anjaane,' I knew it needed a musical soul that could touch the heart. Composing for theatre is a unique and exciting experience, and I am thrilled to create melodies that will live and breathe on stage with such talented performers and singers,' he added.
