In an interview with Film Companion, Rishab said, “I was looking at a story rooted in coastal Karnataka about agricultural land. But it isn’t just land…”
“Bhootakola, Daivaradhane, our culture, our rituals and beliefs are all part of that. Once agricultural activities finish, it is marked with a celebration for 3-4 months because that is a ritual. People who have left the village also return for it. Such strong is the belief around all of it…”
