The film is loosely based on the life story of famous Bangladeshi writer and film maker Humayun Ahmed. The second wife of the late novelist even put out formal complaints against the film.
Though the movie was based on the life of famous writer and movie maker Humayun Ahmed, there were some factual errors. For example, Humayun had three daughters and one son with his first wife, but in the movie only one daughter and one son is shown. This is widely believed that it has been deliberately done to reduce cost for casting.
