Naga Chaitanya Akkineni did the role of STR in the Telugu version of the movie. Both the movies were shot simultaneously.
The first title the director had in mind for this story was 'What's your name'.
The story of the film was inspired from a real life incident. A doctor (MBBS), I think he has done his house surgeon and was practicing in a small village in Tamil Nadu. There were some antisocial elements who were trying to destroy his hospital and take over his land. For about one year, the doctor was fighting there. Then quietly he went, wrote his UPSC exam, became a police officer and came back to the same village and arrested those who troubled him.
