Besides the difficulties in the production stage, according to the director, the story itself is a complicated one and that is another reason why this was a heavy project to develop. Plus, it must be comprehensible for the viewers who are normally used to watching simpler stories.

Further in the talk, Bahrani explains why his movie does not pay enough attention to personification. He says when a director is dealing with a story from the holy Quran, s/he must be loyal to it without making much change.
