The Andhra Association of Telangana petitioned the court against the film's title, arguing that the word pori is an "objectionable word to degrade the self-respect of the girl". The court dismissed the plea. The film is an official remake of 2014 Marathi film Timepass starring Prathamesh Parab and Ketaki Mategaonkar which was based on author Shaiju Mathew's novel Knocked Up that released in 2010.
