Director Lino Brocka was initially offered to do the movie. Brocka wanted Hilda Koronel in the lead role. But Viva Films could not wait for Hilda, who was then trimming down as she gained so much weight at that time. Viva wanted to start the movie which was part of its anniversary offering in 1985. The project went to Leroy Salvador with Nora Aunor on the lead.
