The film is based on a news story that Pande read in 1988 about a Kerala priest sentenced to death on sexual harassment and murder charges.

The film has a few controversial topless scenes, as a result of which it received an A certificate from the censor board of India.

The film depicting a Catholic priest romantically involved with a young woman, was protested against by those that felt it was a negative portrayal of Catholicism and indecent.

Catholic Secular Forum filed a public interest litigation to stall its release but court cleared the film.
