- Director Raj Rachakonda spent nearly four years researching and developing the script by meeting the real Mallesham and weavers.
- The film was shot extensively in actual weaving communities in Telangana to capture authentic locations and lifestyles.
- It was produced on a modest budget and gained attention through word-of-mouth rather than large-scale promotions.
