Sushil Rajpal, who graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), always wanted to make movies on social issues and highlighting people’s agony. Because of his interest in photography, Rajpal specialised in cinematography. He even forayed into the Hindi cinema industry by shooting Pradeep Sarkar's Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. During one of his interviews, he revealed his inspiration for his debut movie:
It seems like just last night
You told me to let go of you
Because already you had let go of me
Let go
You pretended not care
Or really didn’t care at all
But what you didn’t see
Is I was changing
Yes I was changing
And I’m still changing
I want to change
And I would have
I want to change
I don’t know what it was that made it what it was
But I want it back
And I don’t know what love was to get
Until you showed me what love was
And now I want it back
I want to change
And I would have
I want to change
Don’t know what it was that made it what it was
Don’t know what it was
But I want it back
Yes I want it back
And I want it back
