The film was based on a novel published by Ibrahim Waheed in Haveeru Daily in 2003.[4] The film was a critical and commercial success while being considered "one of the few acceptable horror movies the Maldives film industry has ever produced".[5] The film was later released as a 15 episode television series with the inclusion of several clips that were cut from the cinema version.[6]
