The film, Vuon Tinh Yeu – Prem ki Surdhara, aims to highlight the rich cultural connections that existed between India and Vietnam over a thousand years ago.

The official announcement and location survey took place in Hanoi on June 19, 2025. The film will be shot across various locations in Vietnam and India. A team from the India Book of Records conducted the initial survey of filming sites in Vietnam on the same day.
