Director Srinivas Avasarala put forward an interesting thing about PAPA. He remarked, “We planned to make the film in collaboration with inputs from the cast and crew. We tried to make it more conversational. Sound is recorded on sets and most of the lines are impromptu. Everyone on the stage are my collaborators”.
