As Mithun Chakraborty visited Ram Gopal Varma to wish him on his birthday,[11] rumours surfaced that RGV is making a film with Chakraborty in the lead, but RGV rubbished the rumours saying he is making a film with Abhishek Bachchan after Sarkar 3,[12] but weeks later he announced the project with Chakraborty, a horror film starring Flora Saini, Manav Kaul and Makarand Deshpande as well.[8][13] Actor Amit Sadh was also in consideration for a role.[14] The principal photography of the film started in mid-April 2019.[2] Actors Ashish Vidyarthi and Ali Asgar joined the project later.[9] The film was earlier titled as Geher, but later it was rechristened into 12 'O' Clock, before its trailer release.[citation needed]
Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave the film, a rating of 2 out of 5 and stated "If you get spooked easily, you may not mind this one. However, as a psychological thriller that's focussed on ‘one’s believes in supernatural activities only when they have faced themselves’, ’12 ‘o' Clock’ fails to hold your attention for too long and ends up being a bit of a drag."[15]
