In an interview with IANS, the actor revealed that during the shooting he learned "perseverance" from Srikanth Bolla. He shared that the industrialist’s vigour and ambition challenged him to not give up and asserted that Srikanth is already a "success story".  It was very easy for him to give up, he could have just put it on his disability and said I could do only this much, but he crossed all those hurdles. He would behave like a champion. He is already a success story.”
