Leena Dias (née Fernandes; 19 December 1929 – 30 July 2021) was an Indian actress known for her role in the first Konkani film, Mogacho Aunddo (1950).
In his quest for a suitable leading lady, Jerry Braganza visited the office of United Artists, a foreign film distribution company.
However, the film encountered numerous challenges throughout its production, including restrictions imposed by the Portuguese regime in Goa, as well as logistical difficulties and customs-related issues.
The film was shot in a studio located in Chembur, with additional outdoor scenes filmed in various locations across Goa, including Velha Goa Churches, Mapuça Church, Calangute beach, Mandovi River, Aguada Tower, and the Altinho and Campal areas of Pangim.
