In Vasu's (one of the characters played by Nani in the film) bedroom, a poster of a famous film director Mani Ratnam can be seen. This could be seen as a nod to the fact that in real life Nani once cited Mani Ratnam as a major influence on him when it came to getting addicted to movies when he was an undergraduate student.
The intimate scene between Nani and Krithi Shetty became controversial as Krithi was a minor when this film was being shot. She was 17 years of age at that time.
