The film went on the floors last year in October and now, the team is going to kick-start the second leg of the schedule, but before making it to the sets, Adah took the blessing of Goddess Danteshwari Mata.

Talking about the film, director Sudipto Sen said: "After The Kerala Story unprecedented love and blessing -- we gathered the courage to bring out another deadly secret of independent India. It is from Bastar right at the heart of our country. The outrageous, heinous, and abominable truth which will shock you at the core of your existence. We strongly believe that we will get similar blessings and support you showered on us.”
