The script is written by the director the director himself.  About the story, Amitabha said, “We are facing a similar situation like the 19th and 20th century about the social and political condition in this 21st century. We still face the uncertainty in the domains like politics, culture and social values. We face cultural imperialism as well as cultural terrorism. Some of us in the society try to comprehend that, others just avoid without understanding the situation.  As the main character in my movie is a theater actor, he is also a politician. The film also tries to depict the mental conflicts between his political existence and artistic existence.”
