The film is a 2011 Bollywood semi-biographical drama film inspired by the life of Silk Smitha, an actress noted for her erotic roles.

Milan Luthria offered lead role to Kangana Ranaut, but Kangana was tired of playing 'the girl on the verge of a nervous breakdown', after playing similar kind of roles in गैंगस्टर अ लव स्टोरी (2006) and Fashion (2008).

The film's first look and a short teaser were launched online on 26 August 2011. The film's trailer on YouTube got over 880,000 hits within a few days.

Silk Smitha's brother was against the screening of the film.

Made on a budget of 18 crore (US$3.96 million), the film grossed 117 crore (US$25.74 million) worldwide and fetched several awards including a Filmfare Award for Best Actress for Balan and six Colors Screen Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
