'A..Aa' has been inspired from 'Meena', a novel penned by Yaddanapudi Sulochana Rani. Finally, Trivikram explains why the name of the Novelist was missing in the title cards.
Trivikram: "Before starting 'A..Aa', I had met one of my favorite novelist Yaddanapudi Sulochana Rani. She gave me few valuable suggestions on character sketches and plot points. We thought of including Thanks Card to her but couldn't for the first two days due to technical issues. Due to the use of digital technology, It took 48 hours to attach her name. I think the controversy surrounding me ends with this clarification. If people still want to talk about it, There is nothing I could say!".
"While shooting for 'S/O Sathyamurthy', Samantha questioned Me, 'why you use my mind more than your heart? We love to work with you because of connecting to your heart'. May be, Some where those words inspired me to take such a huge risk with 'A..Aa'".
"I should work with Nithin even before 'S/O Sathyamurthy' but that didn't happen. But, I have given a commitment to work with him. After 'S/O Sathyamurthy' release, Me and Kalyan garu were discussing about with whom I should do my next project. Then, Kalyan garu said, 'You once said to me that you will do a film with Nithin. I feel working with him is the right thing do to'. I thank Kalyan garu for reminding me about it".
