A source told Mid-Day, "The film revolves around a female protagonist, whose life is in turmoil due to the ideological clash among the three men in her life – her father, her husband and a stranger. Priyanka loved the script and instantly agreed to back the project."

Talking about the film actor Seema Biswas said, “It’s a powerful human story. I am playing Togor’s (protagonist) mother in this film. I was hoping to see some wild animals in Kaziranga during the shoot. Sometimes, we had to wake up at 4am and return by dusk. Sadly, I couldn’t make any wild friends.”

Finally, Some recognition to the North East Film Industry and their Artist. Huge thanks and love to @priyankachopra for making this possible. #NorthEastIndia #PurplePebblePic #BhogaKhirikee https://t.co/JDNAhyvNUO
