Director Nikolay Volev chose Elena Petrova for the role of Mariya in this film after a tough casting. At the first one in South Park, Volev makes the few girls behave like savages. They have to climb trees, hit powerfully and fight with sticks. Volev was looking for a young girl who looked like a savage so he could impersonate Haitov's heroine. The mousy beauty fit his idea perfectly, but with one small detail - her big black eyes were darting like a wild goat's, as if she was just waiting for someone to touch her so that she could take off her clothes and give herself to him completely. "I wanted a savage, not a whore," the famous director shocked his team. To achieve his goal, he set about taming the inexperienced in cinema Elena by retaining her savage charm but removing the "slutty air" that didn't fit Mariya's image.
