- The movie's plot is loosely inspired by the Hollywood hit 'The Hangover', adapted for a Telugu audience.
- Actor Sesh Adivi, known for serious roles, played a comedic part, which was a departure for him.
- The film faced criticism for its adult humor, which was considered bold for mainstream Telugu cinema in 2013.
