In an interview with us, Pawan had said, "It is a concept I have been working on for many years. I wanted to tell a story that dwells more into a caracter and his discovery of himself. I first wrote the story and then started looking for a title that describes it the best. I stumbled upon Dvitva. I instantly liked what it means and how it sounds. It has been the identity of the film for me since then."
