Development

The project was announced in 2013, as producer Mohamed Fuad's attempt to theatrically release the first Maldivian anthology film. [1] [2] Made on a budget of MVR 2,000,000 the directors were provided with a 45 days timeline to complete their respective segment. [3] In 2016, a controversy arises when the producer criticizes the director Ravee Farooq and Abdul Faththaah for "failing" to complete their segments during the stipulated time period. [3] Unable to "contact and mutually agree" on an extended deadline, producer took over the project from Farooq and continued from where he left; post-production work only. [3] Farooq replied to the statement of Fuad and considered his act as a "personal vendetta" against him. [3] According to Faththaah, the laptop in which he stored the project data was lost and had to re-work on his segment from the provided raw files which costed him an unforeseen delay. [3]
