Fathis Handhuvaruge Feshun 3D was based on a story published by Ibrahim Waheed on an online news platform Haveeru Daily.[2] Titled Jinaa: Fathis Handhuvaruge Feshun (2009), the story serves as prequel to the story Fathishandhuvaru (1996) written by Waheed which was later adapted to a film by same name in 1997.[2] The film was marketed as being the first 3D release for a Maldivian film and the first release derived from spin-off.[3] It was also hyped as the most awaited release of the year.[2] It was made on a budget of MVR 1,300,000.[4]

Fathis Handhuvaruge Feshun 3D was initially slated to release on 28 September 2012, however, shifted for an early 2013 release due to the unavailability of cinema.[2] The dates further fluctuated before being finalised for 5 April 2013 release, due to the ongoing upgrading work of cinema.[3]

Upon release the film received generally negative reviews from critics. Ahmed Nadheem from Haveeru Daily criticised the screenplay for the lack of "amusement" and the "abrupt rush" in story-line with "flaws in the script". He further deprecate the acting of the cast; "Not only Yoosuf Shafeeu, everyone in the cast gave a forgettable performance barring Ahmed Nimal. He concluded the review praising the efforts put into visual effect and addressing the "dislike of the film in comparison to Fathis Handhuvaru".[5] Fathimath Zaina from Vnews echoed similar sentiments and mentioned: "It brings a good opportunity for Maldivians to experience a Dhivehi film in 3D, however it is a disappointment as a film overall. It does not bring justice to the genre it represent and so does the same to the story it's based on".[6]

Ibrahim Waheed, who originally penned the story, disapproved the film; "The story proceeded with no pace, the film moved unnoticed, bass sound was so high you do not hear the dialogues well, direction extremely weak".[7]
