Khel Khel Mein is jointly backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Shashikant Sinha, Ashwin Varde and Rajesh Bahl under the banners of T-Series Films, Wakaoo Films and White World Productions. The film faced competition from John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh's Vedaa and Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 at the box office. 

Speaking to News18 Showsha regarding Khel Khel Mein's box office rivalry with John Abraham's production, Akshay Kumar said, "We're very good friends. We're close buddies. Clashes at the box office keep happening. It's not a big deal at all. It's just a clash and not a slash.”
