The film is written and directed by Gunasekhar and produced by his wife Neelima Guna under their banner ‘Gunaa Teamworks’. The film is inspired by a popular Sanskrit play ‘Shakuntalam’ written by Kalidasa. The film’s entire cast costumes were designed by National award-winning costume designer Neeta Lulla in a simple yet ethereal and demure way, thus making them perfect for the role of ‘Shakuntalam’.

The designer has also reportedly complimented the actress and her performance in the film saying that Samantha has a certain sense of softness which has come out beautifully well in the film and she was apt for the role.
Both the actress and costume designer has shared the look from their Instagram handles and wrote,”
