The core plot of the movie is based on a short story which had earlier been an inspiration for two English movies - the 1946 movie ''[[The Man Who Dared (1946 film)|The Man Who Dared]]'' and the 1956 movie ''[[Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956 film)|Beyond a Reasonable Doubt]]''. The 1983 Telugu movie ''[[Abhilasha (1983 film)|Abhilasha]]'' , in spite of being based on the Telugu novel of same name, was reported to be similar to these movies.<ref>https://mobile.indiaherald.com/Politics/Read/3167/Yandamoori-Veerendranath-A-Plagiarist-%E2%80%98Beyond-A-Reasonable-Doubt%E2%80%99-/</ref><ref>https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/photo/happy-birthday-chiranjeevi-5-best-performances-989648-2017-08-22/3</ref><br />
