Talking about the film, Neil Nitin Mukesh said in an earlier interview with mid-day, "It is about a man who meets with an accident and is impaired, waist-down. When he arrives in his hometown, he realises that someone who he was related to, is murdered. The film is also about one's survival instincts."

The actor who was last seen in Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor's Saaho further said, "In Saaho, I had to [look] fit. But for Bypass Road, I had to gain weight. We can't show a disabled person with six-pack [abs]. We were shooting for almost 16 hours, most of which I spent in a wheelchair."

Neil, who has turned a writer and a producer with the film, said there was a "lot of research that went into the equipment used. Since I have gained weight pushing myself was also tough, I had my trainer on set because the shoulder goes for a toss. We shoot for 16-17 hours a day and there are action sequences in the wheelchair."
