the filmmaker revealed that he was drawn to the "high drama" in the late politician's life when he married his second wife Lakshmi Parvathi.For the uninitiated, NTR married Lakshmi in 1993, just months before he came back to power with a historic win. However, his son-in-law Chandrababu Naidu led an internal coup within the Telugu Desam Party in 1995 and became a chief minister himself, citing Lakshmi's excessive interference in the affairs of the party.Varma said, "I got interested in making this film because of the high drama surrounding the life of NTR's last days due to his relationship with Lakshmi Parvathi and how an affair between a man and a woman has changed the face of Andhra Pradesh politics forever."
