Development

In 2019, Ajay Bhupati confimed the film with Bellamkonda Sreenivas in the lead.[13] However in early 2020, the bilingual film starring Sharwanand and Siddharth is announced. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Akkineni were also considered for the lead roles, but it did not materialize.[14]

Cast and crew

In October 2020, Aditi Rao Hydari and Anu Emmanuel were cast in the film.[15][16] Chaitan Bharadwaj who previously composed music for the films such as RX 100 (2018) and SR Kalyanamandapam (2021), was signed for film's soundtrack. After Gruham (2017), Siddharth made a comeback to Telugu cinema.[17][18]

Principal photography

Principal photography of the film began on 7 December 2020.[19][20] After completing a schedule in Goa, the unit shifted to Visakhapatnam in January 2021.[21]
