Production[edit]
Executive producer, Anand Ranga, told the director, Pattabhi, how telling a story from a girl's point of view would be a good idea after his friends and family told him how films that featured a leading lady ran well. Although the director wasn't interested in casting Harish Kalyan after seeing his photo, but Harish Kalyan was roped in to be part of the cast after Pattabhi watched Kalyan's Vil Ambu. Debutant Pooja Doshi and Sai Ronak were cast after they auditioned for their respective roles.[3]

Release[edit]
This film received mixed reviews upon release.

This Tamil actor makes a promising entry into Telugu cinema".[6] Ch Sushil Rao of The Times of India stated that "Nothing particularly great about the movie to suggest not to miss it", but also praised the performances of Kalyan and Sai Ronak and the film's music.[7]
