  • Director Naresh Kuppili previously worked as an assistant director on several big Telugu films before making his directorial debut with this movie.
  • Actor Vishwak Sen, who plays the lead, performed his own stunts in some action sequences without a body double.
  • The soundtrack was composed by Radhan, who is known for blending folk and modern music styles in Telugu cinema.
  • Parts of the film were shot in picturesque locations in Georgia, Europe, to depict romantic scenes with a scenic backdrop.
