On The Kapil Sharma Show, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar said, "People are very scared. I go to the hospital so doctors see me and say, ‘Sir, you are not making a film on us na?’ This happens many times when I visit an institution and their people say you should make a film on this or that subject." Bhandarkar said he likes “making scripts on different states and thoughts”.

Speaking about Babli Bouncer, Bhandarkar said, "Being in the film industry, all of us have seen that in many places there are male bouncers only. And, one day I was at a pub and I saw a lady bouncer there, so the idea came to my mind. We explored that world and did some research on it and then we got to know that there is a village of bouncers close to Delhi and from there these bouncers come and work here. We have seen male bouncers in many films but the story of a lady bouncer must be told."

Babli Bouncer features Tamannaah Bhatia, Saurabh Shukla, and Supriya Shukla in lead roles. The film will release on Disney+ Hotstar on September 23.
