Trivia

- It was inspired by the 2013 Spanish film 'Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed', which itself was based on a true story.
- The film marked a rare multi-story family drama for director Chandra Sekhar Yeleti, known for thrillers like 'Aithe'.
- Actress Visaka Singh, who plays Gayatri, took a long break from films before this role and prepared by observing middle-class homemakers.
- The child actor who played the street child, Mahitha's friend, was reportedly cast from a real-life shelter home.
- Despite critical praise, the film had a modest box office run, partly due to limited promotional spending.
- The soundtrack was composed by Mahesh Shankar, who used subtle themes to connect the four separate stories.
