Director Othman Hafsham said, "You know, this is a very unique film. During the editing process, I suddenly realized that 'Soal Hati' is actually a woman's film." He added, "Yes, I do believe in women's lib even though I'm not a woman. Just look at how many women leaders are there in the world. Examples would be Corazon Aquino, Benazir Bhutto and countless others."
