The film script was based on a story from One Thousand and One Nights, but arranged for modern city life in Tehran. This was Ghaffari's third film after Jonub-e Shahr and Arous Kodumeh? which both didn't have a good grossing. Jalal Moghadam and George Lichensky encouraged Ghaffari to make this film.
