While the story has been narrated quite many times in cinema through similar lenses, Sakshi Tanwar promises that Mai has a different perspective to offer which makes it unique, when compared to Raveena Tandon's Maatr and Sridevi's Mom. Commenting on how Mai is different from other projects along the same lines, Tanwar said, "The approach is very real and we have presented the story in a very organic manner. The circumstances are very dramatic but the characters aren’t. I think that sets us apart from any other genre. All the characters in the story are very ordinary people, who are put under extraordinary situations. The style of storytelling, its presentation, and the performances are very real. This time the story is being told in a very raw form."
The series is created by Atul Mongia and produced by Karnesh Ssharma's Clean Slate Filmz. Apart from Sakshi Tanwar, the cast for Mai also includes Wamiqa Gabbi, Sakshi Tanwar, Raima Sen, Seema Bhargava, Vivek Mushran, Prashant Narayanan, and Seema Pahwa.
