Phillauri is Anushka's second venture as a producer, after her 2015 crime drama NH10. Phillauri tracks the story of a boy, who is accidentally married to a ghost played by Anushka. Diljit features as an aspiring musician from Punjab in the snippets of the ghost bride's past. Phillauri also stars actress Mehreen Pirzada as the fiance of Suraj Sharma's character.
