Trivia

  • The film's director Jeevitha is the wife of actor Rajasekhar, who plays the lead role.
  • This was the first time Rajasekhar and Jeevitha collaborated on a film since their 2005 movie 'Game'.
  • The movie was shot primarily in Hyderabad over a tight schedule of about 40 days.
  • A key action sequence involving a car was filmed at the old airport road in Begumpet, a location rarely used in recent films.
  • The film's plot draws loose inspiration from the 2015 Hindi film 'Drishyam', but reworks it into a father-daughter crime thriller.
  • Despite being a crime thriller, the soundtrack includes a romantic song composed by Mani Sharma, which was a deliberate tonal shift.
  • The movie faced multiple release delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic before finally premiering on a streaming platform.
