→Trivia
- The film's working title was 'Pharmacy to Plate', hinting at the central conflict between the family business and the son's passion.
- Director Anji Saladhi reportedly visited several family-run pharmacies in small towns to research the father's character and profession.
- The kitchen set where Surya practices cooking was built from scratch over three weeks to ensure authenticity for the culinary scenes.
- A real-life chef, whose identity was not widely publicized, served as a hands-on consultant to train the actor playing Surya for key cooking sequences.
- The film subtly references the popular Telugu TV cookery show 'Aha Na Pellanta' in a scene where the family watches television together.
- It was primarily shot in and around Rajahmundry, with several scenes capturing the distinct backdrop of the Godavari River.
- The musical score uses a traditional instrument called the 'Veena' in the father's theme to symbolize his connection to heritage and tradition.
