After a gap of four years, director Kishan Shrikanth came up with the idea of making a sequel to his first installment Care of Footpath . Terming the film as "not a typical sequel", the director said it took three years to conceive and conceptualize the subject for the film. He visited the real street children who had their brush with crime and understood their plight which resulted him to form a screenplay. [2]
