→Trivia
- The film's title 'Daksha' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'skilled' or 'capable', reflecting the protagonist's determined nature.
- Director Vamsee Krishna Malla reportedly drew inspiration from real-life whistleblower cases for the conspiracy plot.
- This was the first major Telugu film to blend a political corruption thriller with supernatural horror elements.
- Principal photography took place extensively in the less-filmed coastal and forest regions of northern Andhra Pradesh.
- The movie's climax sequence required a custom-built, multi-level set that took over two months to construct.
- A key promotional strategy involved releasing cryptic audio clips related to the conspiracy online before the trailer.
- The film's score uses traditional folk instruments from the Godavari districts to create an eerie, localized atmosphere.
