Praising the lead actors, Rai said, "Tu Yaa Main thrives on unpredictability, pairing two incredibly exciting artists in a story that refuses to play by the rules. Adarsh and Shanaya bring natural intensity to their roles, making them perfect for this gripping thriller."

Adarsh Gourav, who is receiving widespread acclaim for Superboys of Malegaon, takes on a dynamic role in this survival drama, while Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, makes her much-anticipated big-screen debut.
