Hamid maker Aijaz Khan said, "My film is about giving peace and dialogue a second chance. In a conflict zone, it's about seeing and understanding both points of view, without any judgement, based on prejudices. All the main characters are fractured souls set against a hopeless situation. They are seeking peace and solace."
The filmmaker further added, "What I saw and experienced there was contrary to what I had heard and read sitting miles away in Bombay. Spending my time in Kashmir with the people there made me realize just how welcoming and warm they were. They were a big part of making this film happen."
