Mrinal Kulkarni's first serial was based on a very popular novel Swami by late Ranjit Desai, that is still considered as one of the best-sellers in Marathi. A historical love story, it is based on Peshwa Madhavrao's life and his wife Rama who committed sati (jumping on his funeral pyre) when he died. Madhavrao became a Peshwa when he was just 16 years and his wife was 12 years old. While fulfilling his duties towards his state, he had no time for his young wife and at the age of 26, he died of tuberculosis and she gave up her life too. It is a very touching story and Mrinal Kulkarni had to rework on it for the film as she wanted to concentrate on their childhood.
