Talking to News18, Mahadevan said, “We don’t get into a film with these kinds of doubts and fears in mind. When you’re talking about a fearless couple like Jyotiba and Savitribai, if you’re going to harbour those kinds of fear, then you don’t deserve to make the film.”

The director added, “What you can do is make it honestly, stick to the facts, research, don’t exaggerate and don’t make it look unrealistic in anyway because their lives have been so dramatic that you don’t even need to take any cinematic liberties. In fact, you’ve to underplay a lot of things because it’s so dramatic!”
