“Animals do not hunt others of their own species. Whereas, it is only humans who hunt the other humans for their own selfish reasons and ego. The story here is about innocent youngster who resides in the hills, who realizes this and takes a stand against this evil, with the help of his friend.”

The director said that animal-human conflict in hills and forests are an important aspect of the film. He said, “They say that humans living in or around forests cause harm to the wildlife, but it does not always work that way. The people who live there have a responsibility to care for wildlife, and if they do they have a right to live there.”
Speaking about the politics behind the scenario, director says “We have thrown light on political game played on the lives of those people. It has been filmed in the hills near Munar.”
The film has music composed by Maria Manohar, cinematography by Raja C Sekar and editing by Suresh Urs. The story is written by ST Sureshkumar, with lyrics by Snehan.
