The theme of the movie was based on [[Vinoba Bhave]]'s [[Bhoodan movement]] and also takes its inspiration from the novel ''Chomana Dudi'' by [[K. Shivaram Karanth]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ganesh|first1=Deepa|title=Bhoodana: the classic at 55|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/bhoodana-the-classic-at-55/article8607600.ece|work=The Hindu|accessdate=21 April 2017|date=16 May 2016}}</ref> The movie also speaks about the religious conversion of the marginalized. [[S. K. Bhagavan]] had revealed that while working as an assistant on this movie, they had approached Shivaram Karanth to procure the rights of ''Chomana Dudi'' to make it into a movie. However, Karanth refused to officially sell the copyrights but permitted them to make a movie based on the story.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.udayavani.com/cinema/balcony-sandalwood-news/raj-festival-a-mirror-of-the-grooms-novel-films | title=Rajkumar movies based on novels |publisher=Udayavani.com |date= 29 Aug 2019 |url-status=live |accessdate=20 Sep 2020}}</ref><br />
