Trivia
- The film's title 'Agent Narasimha-117' references the popular spy character from Telugu cinema, but the story is a period drama set in a zamindar's house.
- Director Lakshman Chaprala previously worked as an assistant director on several big-budget Telugu films before making his directorial debut with this movie.
- The 'Bhoot Bungalow' setting was primarily filmed at a real heritage property in Andhra Pradesh to create an authentic atmosphere.
- Actress Budget, known for supporting roles, plays a rare negative character as the maid who turns villain in this film.
- The movie's climax and torture scenes were inspired by classic Telugu horror-thrillers from the 1980s and 1990s.

- The necklace central to the plot was custom-designed by a Hyderabad-based jeweller to look like a traditional zamindar-era ornament.
