Background

Director Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi completed his graduate studies in the United States and returned to India with the sole intention of becoming a filmmaker. Because his parents were not supportive, he started an education consulting firm. Meanwhile, he worked as an assistant to Rasool, who directed Okariki Okaru. After a year and a half of success, Jagarlamudi returned to his dream of making films. When travelling across the state of Maharashtra during a research on a film topic, he connected with his vehicle driver. From here, he obtained the initial inspiration and wrote a story about two people with different outlook towards life travelling together.[1]

Initially, Jagarlamudi wanted to make this story in Hindi. With Aaj Jeeyenge as the title, one of his ideas was to picturise the story starting in Delhi, travelling through Bihar and ending the film's climax in Chhattisgarh. On occasion, he met Nagaraju Gandham, a Nandi Award-winning theatre writer. With Gandham, Jagarlamudi prepared the script. When the daughter of a popular producer of Telugu films approached him if he had any scripts for a small-budget film, he narrated the story which was now based in the state of Andhra Pradesh. To further tighten the loose ends in his script, Jagarlamudi consulted with his family, friends and well-wishers in the film industry such as K. Raghavendra Rao, Gangaraju Gunnam and Sirivennela Sitaramasastri. After undergoing several modifications and changes, the eighth version of the script was decided to be the final one. Without commitment from any producer, he decided to produce the film.[1] Eventually, his father Saibaba Jagarlamudi produced the film.[2]
