Delving into the film's prolonged journey, Prithviraj reminisced, "This was back in 2009 when I was still trying to come to terms with myself as an artiste and that’s when he contacted me and said that he has thought of his film which is a grand vision and he wants me to be a part of the film. The idea took 10 years to take off because his vision was so massive that it was quite ahead of time to pull it off in terms of the logistics and the creative line of thought."
