What I've tried to tell in the story is different and what the audience' understood is different, that's why the film was not a big time hit with the audience, but to me it was a financial hit. The producer and the distributors did get back more than what they have spent for the film. I wanted to tell the audience how the hero and heroine fall in love while they are traveling from one place to the other.

I didn't give enough importance to the remaining action sequence. I wanted to highlight the love scenes. But, the audiences point of view has been different.

They have seen it as an action movie and not as a love subject."
