Writer and director KV Vijayendra Prasad’s idea for Srivalli, a story on telepathy and romance, came to him years ago when he reconnected with a friend. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, he said that the story happened when the two hadn’t been in touch but still managed to reconnect after thinking about each other.
“My good friend Ramesh and I studied in Vijayawada. After I settled in Hyderabad, I didn’t meet him for many years. In 2010, on Vinayaka Chaturthi, I thought of him and decided to see him and went to Vijayawada but he was no more. His mother showed me his diary that had an entry saying he thought of me on the same day as I did! How is it possible that both of us thought of each other on the same day?”
