In a post-release media interview, Parasuram spoke about the controversial love track between Mahesh Babu and Keerthy Suresh in the movie. He said he didn’t find anything vulgar in the scenes between them.

Asked about the controversial scene where Mahesh puts his leg on Keerthy while forcing to sleep next to him, Parasuram said: “What exactly is the issue with that scene? In my opinion, it's similar to a child wanting to sleep with his mother. Also, if that scene is so problematic, wouldn't Mahesh have asked me to remove it?".

Parasuram was slammed by a section of social media users for defending the scene. One user wrote: “Mother and wife are never equal, in any aspect. What an incestuous way to defend it. Agree on the mistake and move on, man (sic).” Another viewer asked: “Can men stop comparing partners to moms (sic).” A user wrote in Telugu that the explanation is worse than the scene.

The film marked the maiden collaboration between Mahesh Babu and director Parasuram. In the movie, Mahesh plays a loan agent. It’s the first time Mahesh and Keerthy Suresh have teamed up for a project. Sarkaru Vaari Paata, which has been co-produced by Mahesh Babu, was the second Telugu film after Saaho to have a Twitter emoji before its release.
