context_section_description: Influenced by the conflict of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in Manipur, Edwin Haorokcham wrote 20 pages treatment of the music video after the final music recording. Edwin contacted and teamed up with Ratan Sapam at Studio Dominance to work on the project with Uchek Society. Location scouting began in early 2019 with the band members. The textures of the wall in every indoor locations were the main concern during the scouting. After finalising the location, Edwin approached the lead actor Texas from a mutual friend and met at Porompat to discuss the project. Prinalini Thingom was discovered by Edwin from Instagram who turns out to be a daughter of a well-known Manipur film actor Pritam Thingom. Edwin stated "the video was based in 1990s because it was the most crucial years of the arms conflict in Manipur". O.W.L is a fictional group created by Edwin for the music video. Production began on 9th February 2019 at RKCS Art Gallery. The video was produced in a low-budget. Ton Wangkheimayum and Shrikanth were the unit managers of the production. Niranjoy Luwangcha was appointed as the production manager. The production took seven working days to complete. The whole music video is graded in low vibrant and tinted light sepia. In early March 2019, the releasing date was fixed and announced from the band's social media pages.
