Production
The story of the film is based on the life of Trivikrama Mahadeva.[3][4][5] The filmmakers obtained permission to use Mahadeva's life story, which includes his experiences as a mortician of unclaimed bodies. The filmmakers reportedly agreed to pay Mahadeva a fee in exchange for the right to use his story in Samskaravantha. However, Mahadeva claims that he was not paid by the producers of either Samskaravantha or KA-99 B-333, despite being promised compensation at the time the filmmakers obtained permission to use his story. Raghunath, the producer, stated that he had intended to provide compensation to Mahadeva. However, the amount Mahadeva requested was equivalent to half of the film's production cost, which was deemed excessive for a low-budget tribute film. Mahadeva has reportedly expressed indifference to the films, citing his dissatisfaction with the lack of compensation he received and stating that he has no interest in watching them.[1]
