Production

English Vinglish is the directorial debut of Gauri Shinde, who previously worked as an advertisement filmmaker. The story was inspired by Shinde's mother, a Marathi-speaking woman who ran a pickle business at her house in Pune. Her mother was not fluent in English, which embarrassed Shinde as a child.

The film also marked the Bollywood debut of South Indian actress Priya Anand, who previously worked in the Tamil and Telugu film industries. This film marked the debut of theatre actor Ashvin Mathew. The film was being shot as of July 2011, and the principal photography concluded in October 2011. It was shot mostly in New York.

The first preview of English Vinglish was launched on 14 June 2012. The official distributor Eros International posted the preview video and poster on YouTube and Twitter. A 2-minute teaser showing Sridevi reading the Censor Certificate of the film in deliberately broken English was also released. The preview received positive response and was lauded for its unique and fresh concept.
