The Director Nagraj Manjule had to convince Somnath Awaghade(Jabya) three months for this role. Somnath has grown up in rural area and has never appeared even in Screen related activity and he was taking director's words as a joke. But, ultimately he accepted the role.
The film has only one song "Tujhya Priticha inchu". The song starts with beats of Halagi(A percussion instrument used by folk artists in many parts of Maharashtra). The Halagi in this song is played by the Father and elder brother of Protagonist Somnath Awaghade.
