Talking to Hyderabad Times, Hanu revealed that it was his friend Venkat Siddareddy who came up with the title three years ago and that the director later went from there. “I felt like the line – Padi Padi Leche Manasu – had depth to it, a story behind it, it just felt so poetic. I’ve mulled on the title for three years and written the story,” he said.
The director also revealed that apart from just using Kolkata for the ambience, he also captured the spirit of the place in his film. “. In fact, Padi Padi is the first of my three stories based at the place to come to fruition. When you tell a love story, the ambience should matter and when one talks of love, they talk of Paris. But for me, Kolkata is it!” he said. Prabhas, apart from few others in Tollywood recently wished the team of the film all the best for the film.
