Raja Ravi Varma was a prince who earned a reputation to speak the truth at all times. So much so that his subjects titled him Raja Harishchandra.

Over the years the phrase of Raja Harishchandra has been carried from generation to generation such was his popularity.

Even in Ankhon Dekhi, the story talks about Bauji who has decided to believe only in what he sees or experiences himself. Rajat while writing the film was intrigued by Raja Harishchandra and looked up text and material available on him.

To decide and be persistent on following a path is quite tough and Rajat wanted to take references while he worked on the script. Bauji was a tough character for him to pen down and he worked for more than 6 months on the script ensuring there is humor in situations and yet the journey he undergoes gets en-captured.

Ankhon Dekhi is a is a humorous film about a man's journey set in lower middle class in Delhi.
