“I was always in love with cinema,” Sasi wrote on his Facebook wall when he announced the project. “It was difficult for me to take such a long break from cinema but I wanted to do what I had in mind if I ever made a comeback. I had in mind a project based on the Kuwait war. We decided to make the movie in Hindi because such a large project would be impossible to do in Malayalam.”
