Anil Jadhav is an Indian farmer. He had always dreamed of having a large family. But as droughts in his homeland increase, his income — and marriage prospects — are dwindling.

The initial idea for the film was proposed by Elke Scholiers. Karan and his team received support from The Pulitzer Center for making this film.
