The film was originally scheduled for release in the first week of October 2013, but was postponed due to political unrest in Andhra Pradesh[10] and finally released on 8 November 2013.[11] It is loosely based on the Hollywood movie The Long Kiss Goodnight, and was remade in Bhojpuri in 2015 as Durga starring Rani Chaterjee and in Bangladesh in 2016 as Rokto starring Pori Moni.
