Raghavendra Varma believes that the film was made into a romantic comedy owing to the reason that the native audiences may not enjoy a film that only deals with robotics, and that he had to create a familiar plot to make the film more relatable. The director also revealed that as a kid, his favourite movie was Aditya 369, which was a sci-fi film revolving around a time machine. His fascination for sci-fi films is something that drove him to go ahead and make a film of his own.
