The film, which has no title as yet, is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under the Sithara Entertainments banner. Although Suryadevara Naga Vamsi bought the Telugu remake rights of the hit Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum (starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon) in March, there has been no confirmation as yet that this film will be a remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum.

On Monday, Sithara Entertainments announced that Rana Daggubati would join the cast. Daggubati also shared the announcement on his social media channel.

The pooja ceremony for the film was, however, attended only by Kalyan.

In October, Sithara Entertainments had announced that Pawan Kalyan would play a cop in the film. They had announced, “favourite cop of Telugu cinema is back in a high voltage role.”
