An international crew contributed to the making of the film and students of the school took on many roles in front of and behind the camera: acting, set design, sound, logistics, and more.

Kumar sings the Doon School song 'Lab Pe Aati Hai' in the soundtrack as well as Howly is Krishna which was improvised during a music recording session in Goa.

Howly's friend, nicknamed "Boozy" (Aseem Kumar), is an excellent sportsman who is about to win the most coveted award for sports at Doon, the "games blazer".

Kumar attempted to demonstrate a number of positive qualities that he believed Doon instilled in its pupils: a sense of values, ethics, friendship, loyalty, the ability to correct moral choices, and to form independent judgments and decisions.

Kumar and his crew spent several months on the campus making the film in a consultative and participatory process that included both teachers and students.

It is perhaps the first time in India that a near feature-length film of this nature has been made with school boys taking key roles behind and in front of the camera.
