Talking about the film, Varun told The Hindu, "Our excitement came from the fact that Telugu cinema has not witnessed mid-air combats. In the beginning, we were told this is an experiment but I see it as a mainstream film with universal appeal. Shakti sent me a showreel he had done about the Balakot airstrike. The video had gone viral and the IAF got in touch with him. They appreciated his work but were curious about how he had so much information; they told him that the next time around, he should seek permission and they would be willing to cooperate".
