Kumar said the idea of scripting a film came from a play that he worked on in August 2002, when he was DIG, Palamu. “The then DGP R R Prasad suggested that I should work on a play to expose the ideology and show the real face of these people,” he said. The play was staged in various Maoist-affected areas.
