RGV was so fascinated by the story which has all the elements like pride, ego and politics that he realised that it was a story that couldn't be said in just two and a half hours. He then decided to make it a movie in two parts where in the first part majorly focuses on the Rise of Paritala Ravi and the second part where Suri causes the fall of Ravi.
The film is based on the life of Paritala Ravindra, a factionist and political leader from Andhra Pradesh who was assassinated by his rivals in 2005.
