Production

edit

Aniket Naik has been working in Mumbai's film industry since 2007, working on films like Ferrari Ki Sawaari, John Day, Hridayanath, many advertisements, and has even worked as the second assistant director for the Hollywood film Hidden. Making a Konkani film with this prior experience in filmmaking was thus a long time dream of his. Working on the script for nearly two years, he collaborated with producer Sachin Verlekar to make the film. Naik chose many amateur debutantes for the film and got them trained further before beginning the filming.[7] The music for this movie is given by the music director duo Rithesh-Shridhar.
