Production

[edit]

Principal photography of the film was started in 1990 but the director was forced to stop the shooting midway due to financial and uncertain reasons. The shooting of the film resumed in June 2015 with the cast unchanged. Due to a 25-year break, the director Sabyasachi made changes in the storyline, in an attempt to appeal to modern audiences. Some artists had passed away during these 25 years, but Sabyasachi decided to keep the scenes he had shot with them in the film.[6] The film was shot in Koraput and Kalahandi district.[7][8]
