Development

Star Jalsha's Bengali series Ishti Kutum was remade in Hindi language on StarPlus as Mohi by White Horse Productions which aired from 2015 to 2016 which did not garner good viewership.^[6][7] However, by 4 Lions Films, producer Gul Khan remade the series again as Imlie for StarPlus stating, "I know you have heard and seen this before, many times, but we'll play it more real".^[8] The first promo of the series was released on 27 October 2020 and featured the leads.

Casting

Gashmeer Mahajani, playing the lead role of Aditya Kumar Tripathi decided to quit the show in January 2022. He said "My exit was planned two months back. The reasons for the same are best known to me and Gul Khan and I think to maintain our professional integrity, it should remain between only the two of us. It was a two-month long process in which I had to give it the time to stabilize with a new fresh track and gradually reduce my screen space so that once I exit the show, it can still run on its own merit and not get hampered. For the show to run and the new track to sustain after my exit, Aditya has to be completely wrong for Imlie if Aryan has to be completely right. These are basic scripting rules. If I was writing this script, I would have done it the same way. So in the last one and a half month when the decision of my exit was finally made, that is when they made changes in my character and I was okay with it completely. One shouldn't forget that the show-runner is Imlie and she is Sumbul Touqeer. The show runs on her shoulders. "

Manasvi Vashist replaced Mahajani as Aditya but he also quit the show after few months only as he didn't want to be playing a grey role. Sumbul Touqeer who played Imlie, Fahmaan Khan who played Aryan and Mayuri Deshmukh who played Malini, quit the show post generation leap in September 2022.^[9][10]

Megha Chakraborty was cast as Imlie, the female lead post generation leap and Seerat Kapoor was cast as the negative lead, Cheeni. Karan Vohra was cast as the male lead, Atharva.^[11][2] On her entrance Chakraborty said, "Imlie has become a huge part of my life already, and I hope the audience will enjoy this new beginning."^[12]

In September 2023, Adrija Roy was cast as female lead Imlie, for the third generation and Sai Ketan Rao was cast as playing dual roles, Agasthya after his death track and Surya, the new male lead.^[13]

Filming

The filming of the series began in October 2020.^[14] Although the series is set in New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, it was filmed at sets in Mumbai.^[15]

On 14 April 2021, due to COVID regulations imposed by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, shooting of all serials were asked to halt. Imlie Team moved Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad and conducted their shoot there till the next notice.^[16]

Ravivaar With Star Parivaar (2022)

The cast of Imlie participated in Ravivaar With Star Parivaar, a musical competition wherein eight StarPlus shows competed against each other to win the title of "Best Parivaar".^[17][18] Imlie emerged as the first runner-up of the show^[19] and Sumbul Touqeer aka Imlie won the player of the series award as she was declared as the best performer, most stylish and screened sadasya of the show. She won a brand new car as a prize.^[20]
