Production
The film was begun when Rajesh Fernandes along with Raymond Quadros, during one of their visits to Goa, watched the play Padri by Prince Jacob. Soon, the idea of turning the play into a movie was born. The movie is unique in that all the actors and actresses acted on camera for the first time, but they are all professional stage artists. The whole movie was filmed without a single indoor shot in 26 days. In all, "it is a package to be viewed by the entire family with model clippings and modern anecdotes", according to director Fernandes. The censor board has given ‘U’ certificate without even a single cut, he added. He said the language used in the movie is a mixture of Mangalorean Konkani and Goan Konkani.Cast
