Production

Dada Kondke had planned for his nephew, Vijay Kondke, to take over his production company. Vijay decided to remake a Rajasthani film based on its story and approached Mahesh Kothare to direct the project.

At the time, Mahesh and his father, Amber Kothare, met Dada to discuss the film. Mahesh agreed to direct it only on the condition that Dada Kondke would act in the lead role. Dada declined, as he wished to appear only in a co-starring role. Mahesh then withdrew from the project, stating that no other actor could do justice to Dada’s part.

After failing to secure another director, Vijay Kondke ultimately decided to direct the film himself.

Bhagyashree was initially offered the role by Kondke, but she declined due to scheduling conflicts. The following month, it was reported that Alka Kubal was in talks to play Laxmi after being approached by Annasaheb Deulgaonkar. Ajinkya Deo was cast in the role of Vicky.

Usha Nadkarni was selected to portray Laxmi’s mother-in-law, a role that was also considered for Shashikala. Ramesh Bhatkar was approached to play Laxmi’s husband, while Kishori Shahane was cast in a supporting role.
