Director and writer Sidhartha Siva has come up with an interesting observation which he has put up as a facebook post.

Because on seeing a love story, naive viewers might think that love is eternal, poetic, divine, and beyond religion, and fall in love without taking into account religion, caste and economic status. On the third day, they might be found dead,'' he wrote.

Siva was referring to the recent death of Kevin, who was allegedly murdered by the family of his wife, who wanted to do away with him as he was of a lower caste and economic status. Kevin was found dead in a river nearby, a few days after his wedding to

Neenu

, whose family was dead against the match.
