Talking about his inspiration for the film, he said Vijaywada elections was his inspiration for the film and its title. However, he has not degraded any of the community or caste in the film. It is just based on a situation. He also said that he has not targeted anyone but has only tried to bring reality on screen. Since he has written characters inspired by real people, it creates the feeling that he is highlighting or targeting someone. He would also like to mention that all resemblance is just unintentional and nothing personal.
