It is to be noted that the collaboration between P. Shashadri and H. G. Dattatreya continued after several films. The pair would continue this stint in future films too.

This is often compared to the famed duo collaboration between Christopher Nolan and Michael Caine, where Nolan has called Caine to be his lucky charm.
