J.P. Dutta stated "This film has (been) generated from a true story. And this idea of making a film on the battle was born to me in 1971 itself. That was the end of December when my brother came home from this battle. Though younger to me, he was a part of the Longewalla battle. He was a flying officer at that time in the Air Force. He narrated this story to me which I wrote down in a notebook. I was doing my final year in St Xavier's college at that time. I remember that I wrote the whole thing down as a screenplay, because I always wanted to become a film-maker and I thought that I would make a film on this one day. I got my chance now."
