Production edit
The film is directed by P. Bhanu Shankar, who previously directed Evare Athagadu (2003). Tarun Chandra makes his solo lead debut with this film after playing one of the three leads in the Kannada film Khushi (2003).[1] He was reported to be rebranded as Saketh (due to the presence of an actor of the same name).[2] Vishakapatnam-based heroine Devaki was reported to be credited as Srilekha.[1][2] The shooting was delayed due to Raghuvaran's ill health. The film was produced by M. Kumara Swamy, who previously produced two of G. Nageswara Reddy's youth films: 6 Teens (2001) and Girl Friend (2002). The film was ready for release in mid-November 2004.[2]
The film reentered production for a song sequence choreographed by D. K. S. Babu in mid-2006. The film scheduled to release in July 2006.[1] The reason for the two-year delay was the post-production work.[3]
