→Trivia
- The film's title 'Guntur Talkies' is a nod to a real single-screen theatre in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, which was popular in the 1990s.
- Director Praveen Sattaru shot the entire film in just 35 days, using a fast-paced schedule to maintain a gritty, realistic feel.
- Actor Sree Vishnu, who plays Hari, had to learn to mimic a specific local dialect from coastal Andhra for his role.
- The movie blends genres unexpectedly, starting as a quirky comedy but shifting into a tense crime thriller in its second half.
- A key chase sequence was filmed in the narrow lanes of Old Guntur, requiring special permissions and minimal crew to avoid disruptions.
- The film's soundtrack, composed by Prashanth R Vihari, features a song with lyrics written in a mix of Telugu and Tamil, reflecting the setting.
- Despite its modest budget, the film was noted for its authentic production design, especially in recreating a small-town medical shop and local households.
