== Plot ==
Ajay Varma is a [[Hyderabad]]-based [[Kabbadi]] player who visits [[Kurnool]] to take part in a state-level tournament. There, he saves Swapna Reddy from Obul Reddy, a dangerous faction leader, who is in love with Swapna and wants to marry her against her wishes. Ajay learns that Swapna is trying to leave for the United States for pursuing higher education after Obul killed her brothers. When Ajay saves Swapna, he humiliates Obul by pushing him into a mud pond. Obul refuses to cleanse the mud until Swapna is found and brought back. Ajay helps Swapna escape and takes her to his house in the [[Old City (Hyderabad, India)|Old City of Hyderabad]], hiding her in his room with the help of his sister, Asha.

Soon, his parents find out she is hiding in their house. Swapna and Ajay run away again and eventually she falls in love with him. The next day, the police, led by Ajay's father Vijay, surround the [[Charminar]] where Swapna is hidden by Ajay. The duo, along with Ajay's friends, reaches the airport to go to the United States. They bring her parents to see her one last time before she leaves. After Swapna passed airport security, Ajay realises he loves Swapna. She shows up and hugs him while proposing to him.

At the airport, Vijay arrests Ajay while Obul's men take Swapna away. After Swapna taunts him by saying that Ajay will definitely come for her, Obul goes to the jail and asks Ajay to come with him. Here, Vijay expresses that he's not worried about Ajay; rather, he's worried for Obul. Obul and his henchmen are kidnapped by Ajay, who, along with his friends, attend the finals of the national-level Kabaddi tournament.

Meanwhile, Obul's brother Siva Reddy, who happens to be the home minister of the state, is waiting at the venue of Obul's marriage with Swapna. After coming to know about his whereabouts, Siva reaches the stadium along with Swapna and his mother where Ajay and Obul are fighting with each other. Swapna's father stabs Obul while his mother dies in a bomb blast. Siva decides not to react as it would harm his position as a minister and Ajay, whose team won the match, celebrates the victory with Swapna and his family. Ajay and Swapna are married together.

== Production ==

=== Development ===
[[File:Charminar-Pride of Hyderabad.jpg|thumb|[[Gunasekhar]] chose [[Charminar]] (''pictured''), a monument and mosque located in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] as the film's backdrop.]]
During his days as an assistant director in Madras (now [[Chennai]]), [[Gunasekhar]] dreamed to direct a film with the backdrop of [[Charminar]], a monument and mosque located in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]]. After watching ''[[West Side Story (1961 film)|West Side Story]]'' (1961), he took inspiration from the war between two gangs and wrote a script choosing Charminar and [[Old City (Hyderabad, India)|Old city]] area of Hyderabad as the film's backdrop.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=10}} Years later, [[Ashwini Dutt]] met Gunasekhar during the re-recording sessions of ''[[Choodalani Vundi]]'' (1998) where the latter saw the portfolio images of [[Mahesh Babu]] whose debut film ''[[Rajakumarudu]]'' was officially launched that day. Finding Babu apt for the protagonist he envisioned, Gunasekhar narrated the script to him and gained his consent.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=10}}

After the release of ''[[Mrugaraju]]'' (2001), Gunasekhar resumed work on the film's script. After reading an interview of [[Pullela Gopichand]] who pursued a career in [[badminton]] against his father's wishes and faced many hardships, Gunasekhar made the protagonist a person who aspires to be a [[kabaddi]] player against his father's wishes.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=10}} He met [[Ramoji Rao]] who expressed his wish to produce the film and permitted Gunasekhar to erect a Charminar set at [[Ramoji Film City]].{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=10}}

Rao walked out due to unknown reasons and Babu, along with Gunasekhar, met [[M. S. Raju]] at [[Padmalaya Studios]] office. Babu asked Raju to permit them to erect a Charminar set as they cannot avail police permission to shoot at the original after a person committed [[suicide]] by jumping from the top. Raju agreed to do so after listening to the script narration and the project was subsequently announced.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}}

Gunasekhar wanted to name the film as ''Athade Ame Sainyam'', but the title was already registered for another film which made Gunasekhar name the film as ''Okkadu'' after considering ''Kabaddi''.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}} The film was produced under the banner [[Sumanth Art Productions]] with a budget of {{INR}}130{{ndash}}140 million.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}}

=== Cast and crew ===
Impressed with her screen presence in ''[[Yuvakudu]]'' (2000), Gunasekhar chose [[Bhumika Chawla]] as the film's female lead to be paired with Babu.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}} [[Mukesh Rishi]] and [[Geetha (actress)|Geetha]] were signed to play Babu's parents in the film.

[[Paruchuri Brothers]] were signed to write the film's dialogues. [[Mani Sharma]] composed the score and [[Sekhar V. Joseph]] was its cinematographer.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}} [[A.

The latter, along with Prasad, changed the narration to linear within ten minutes.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}}

=== Filming ===
The film's unit erected the Charminar set in a ten acres of land owned by [[D. Ramanaidu]] at Gopannapalle near Hyderabad. The original height of Charminar is {{Convert|176|feet|metres}} and the height of each minaret is {{Convert|78|feet|metres}} feet. The film's unit decided to construct the set with a length of {{Convert|120|feet|metres}} feet by not altering the minarets and instead reduce the total length of the remaining part. The surroundings of Charminar were recreated in five acres around the set. 300 workers were employed in the construction of the set which lasted for three months and costed {{INR}}17.5 million.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}}

The makers decided to create the roads near the set using computer graphics in order to reduce the budget. [[Principal photography]] began in the same set and fifteen generators were used for illuminating the area. Strada Cranes were used for filming key scenes after ordinary cranes proved to be futile.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}} The film's climax was shot in December 2002 for 11 days and 1000 junior artistes participated in the film's shoot amid extreme climatic conditions. Despite receiving training in Kabaddi, Babu was injured several times during the film's shoot.{{Sfn|Chinnarayana|2015|page=11}}
