A strong buzz is there that the film takes inspiration from the life of Subbarao Panigraha. Getting into the details, Subbarao hailed from Orissa but settled in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, where he worked as a temple priest.

The priest was against the irregularities being operated under the temple system by the zamindars. To fight against them, he forms a team with another Nexalites-turned-social-reformer (Ram Charan).

The makers have not revealed the story but Strong buzz has it that Koratala Siva took his inspiration from the book and made suitable changes for Acharya.
