Josy Joseph, Founder of Confluence Media, said, "The strange thing about India is that its real stories are far more dramatic than any that a writer can imagine up, but those have not been harnessed enough for visual storytelling. I am confident that Phantom Hospital will be a pathbreaking movie that will showcase Mahesh's mastery over the craft and Priti's capability to see through challenging projects".

On his Hindi film debut, Mahesh Narayanan said, "I was instantly drawn to the story inspired by true incidents in the healthcare sector of India. It gives me immense pleasure to associate with Priti Shahani, who as a producer, has consistently delivered quality content, and Josy Joseph, whose meticulous research has added great layers to the story. My films have received so much love from the Hindi audiences that I am truly looking forward to directing my first Hindi feature".
