Production[edit]
Short film director Raj made his directorial debut with this film.[3] He had seen the TED talk by Chintakindi Mallesham and wanted to create a film about Mallesham.[4] Carl Zeiss super-speed lenses were used to shoot the film as Raj wanted the film to feel like Shyam Benegal's Susman (1987). The film was shot in Revanapally and the crew stayed in the village for a year to shoot the film.[3] Laxman Aelay was signed as the head of art production after a hiatus of almost 25 years. His last work was Nirantharam (1995). He helped the crew by referring local artisans to the team. His drawings of weavers were used as references for the crew. [4] The trailer released on 29 May.[5]
