Presenting a dramatised version of the events was out of the question for the director duo. Through the series, they intended to address the reasons behind the Lee-Hesh split. “As a fan boy, I was heartbroken [when they parted ways]. A lot of questions were left unanswered. If we told the story as a creative version, those questions would not be answered. We thought the best way of telling the story was to have both Lee and Mahesh speak about it. [We also included the accounts] of their friends and families, their partners and rivals, thus giving a balanced perspective.”

While Tiwari and Iyer have worked together in various capacities, Break Point sees the couple share directorial responsibilities for the first time. “We share our duties at home where each knows what s/he should be handling. For instance, I teach math and science to my children because of my engineering background, and Ashwiny handles social science and arts. Similarly, at work, we [divided the responsibilities]. If someone is taking care of a particular department, the other person has the right to give his opinion, but the final call will rest with the person handling the department.”
