In his interview, Nani said that the debut film of director Hanu Raghavapudi was first narrated to him which he rejected. Today director has also confirmed the view and further added his own inputs.
Hanu Raghavapudi said,” I like my stories and characters to be natural and set them up in a believable and natural setting that can connect to a common man. Nani fits perfectly into this mould, that’s why I write my stories keeping him in mind”.
