Co-director Bhagavan had revealed that he was so impressed by an Iranian film which he saw at an international film festival at New Delhi that he used the core plot of that film as a reference point for the storyline of this film.[4] Critics have noted that Chi. Udayashankar had penned the story inspired by the movie Model Love which he had seen at an international film festival in Bangalore.[5] Similarities have also been noted with Avery Corman's 1977 novel Kramer versus Kramer which was adapted into a film of the same name (1979), released 9 months before this film.[6]
