The film was simultaneously in Kannada and Hindi with the latter version titled as Godhuli (transl. The Hour of the Gods). While the Kannada version starred Sundar Raj and Maanu, the Hindi version starred Om Puri and Kulbhushan Kharbanda, respectively. It is based on the Kannada novel Tabbaliyu Neenade Magane, written by S. L. Byrappa as an allegory for nation-building and the clash of modernity with tradition in rural India.
