"I learnt about people's opinion of my films, strangely they call them comedies! I never wanted to be pigeonholed into a humorous director. So in this film I have put in some intrigue and drama," says Nagesh who had the "the script ready in 2001". And the script was a result of a documentary on two dreaded criminals and Indian prison he saw in 1998 while the convicts were also among the audience. "After the documentary was over, we were made to meet those convicts. I was amazed to see them. They looked simple and innocent and no different from others." And then began Nagesh's in-depth conversation with various prisoners, police and Government officials in jails across the country and finally the Mushirabad Jail in Hyderabad, now slated for demolition, served the backdrop of his film.
