The film is based on a Kannada play by Mohan Habbu which was translated from the tragic English play Lithuania by Rupert Brooke. In September 2020, director Dayal announced that he will be directing the Telugu remake of the movie which would be produced by Allu Aravind. The Telugu remake titled Anaganaga O Athidhi was directly released on the Aha. He had also revealed that he would be directing the Tamil remake. The Tamil version, titled Kondraal Paavam, was released in 2023.
