Interesting Facts:

This film was initially announced in October 2009 with Ravi Teja playing the lead role and with Krishna Vamsi as director, with the producer announcing the film as a partly fantasy venture.[4] The film progressed in pre-production with Tamannaah Bhatia and Sneha Ullal being considered to portray the heroine role, whilst the fantasy elements in the original script were removed.[5]

Around that time cinematographer Santosh Srinivas was looking to become a director and landed in Bellamkonda camp. They worked on this script and he made the necessary changes to it.

In April 2010, it was revealed that the producer and Ravi Teja had fallen out and he was replaced by Ram.[6]

Coming to hero Ram he said “As I said before, due to certain bad experiences, after ‘Ganesh’, I felt that I should not do movies with new directors. So I took a pretty period of 7 months to go through various scripts, 17 to be precise to short list the right script. Finally it was a story of Santosh Srinivas which compelled me to jump into the project.

The filming began in October 2010 with Ram and Hansika Motwani, whilst actress Swati Reddy shot scenes the following month.[7] Ram stated on his Twitter account that the film had three female lead roles, and suggested that Nisha Aggarwal was signed on.

However, film workers declared a strike immediately after that for an indefinite period. The crisis affected the whole film industry and no films were shot in Andhra Pradesh during late December and early January during negotiations.[10]

After filming had resumed, the original music director Chakri was replaced by S. Thaman in March 2011.
