Production edit
Rajasekhar expressed interest in remaking the Tamil film Soodhu Kavvum as he felt that the film would suit him.[2] The lead actress was revealed to be Anjali Lavania of Panjaa fame.[1] However, Lavania was replaced by Sheena Shahabadi, who portrays Rajasekhar's imaginary girlfriend. The film is co-produced by his wife Jeevitha, who previously produced Aptudu (2004). Achu Rajamani, the film's music composer, signed to portray a supporting role in his acting debut.[3][4] Rajasekhar started smoking for his role in the film. The film was titled Gaddam Gang as the film revolves around a group of people who engage in negative activities and don't shave.[2]
