The film is inspired from various moments of cinema we have watched as artists and observers alike. The appreciation only grew with time. The likes of Guru Dutt, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, M S Sathyu , Mani Kaul, Ritwik Ghatak , Ray, Mrinal Sen, Benegal from India, and Truffaut, Godard, Fellini, and many more have had an influence on our minds. The story is an ode to their contribution to the art of cinema. The film was shot on various real locations in Bombay and Benaras over a period of 7 days.
