Also, we have tried to capture Diu the way you might have never seen before."

Music for the film is composed by Kedar Upadhyay–Bhargav Purohit. The duo is well known for composing music in various stage plays. Director Vijaygiri says, "Premji's music is completely theme based music. As the story will progress, you will be able to find lots of variation in music like Kutch folk song, ritual song etc."<ref>{{cite web|url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/gujarati/movies/news/Upcoming-Gujarati-movie-Premji-Rise-of-a-warrior-recently-released-its-first-official-trailer-/articleshow/46185037.cms? |title=With Premji – Rise of a warrior releases it official trailer |date=10 February 2015|author=Shreya Iyer}}</ref>
