Development
After directing various short films including the short film Amdavadi Mijaj,[1] Director Vijaygiri is now debuting with Premji – Rise of A Warrior. The concept of a boy who is struggling with himself for his own identity clicked in the director’s mind long time ago and he gradually developed the story. Dialogues of the film are written by Gireesh Parmar & Vijaygiri. The Cast includes veteran Gujarati theater artists like Happy Bhavsar, Maulik Nayak, Mehul Solanki, Namrata Pathak & Vishal Vaishya along with hindi cinema actor Abhimanyu Singh.
Filming
The film is shot in the locations of Ahmedabad, Diu & Kutch. It was shot at more than 20 locations in 25 days.[2] Talking about filming the locations, VijayGiri said, "We have tried to cover the college life of Ahmedabad but the emphasis was given more to the Kutch locations as per the script's requirement. Also, we have tried to capture Diu the way you might have never seen before."
Music for the film is composed by Kedar Upadhyay–Bhargav Purohit. The duo is well known for composing music in various stage plays. Director Vijaygiri says, "Premji's music is completely theme based music. As the story will progress, you will be able to find lots of variation in music like Kutch folk song, ritual song etc."[3]

The film was declared as a box office hit by the experts. The critical reception of the movie were extremely positive, mostly stating the movie as "A bold concept with a never-seen-before story line, amazing direction, beautiful music and unbeatable performances."
