Commenting on Big Pictures entry into Gujarati films, Reliance Big Entertainment president Rajesh Sawhney said, "Cinema speaks a global language; a good film holds no language barrier. We are producing several regional films in several languages. Gujarat always has been close to heart for the ADAG group & we are proud to bring to audiences Dholi Taaro Dhol Waage, directed by Patel, coupled with exceptional performances, great music and heart wrenching story."

Dholi Taaro Dhol Waage not only brings Kanodia & Trivedi on screen together for first time but also the romantic couple of Gujarati film industry; Kanodia & Manek. Kanodia said, "I have always loved sharing screen with Manek. As Dholi Taaro Dhol Waage brings us back on screen after five years, we are looking forward to a great response from audiences."

The movie is a saga of passion for dhol and love.
