Kukunoor was inspired to make Lakshmi based on his interactions with children, who were pushed into the sex trade. These children were being rehabilitated through an NGO that he supported.
During his interaction with these girls, he came across many harrowing cases. But the story about this teenager stood out and grabbed his attention.
Lakshmi also stars Kukunoor, Shefali Shah, Ram Kapoor and Satish Kaushik. It will release in January.
