Production

Gangotri marked the 100th directorial venture of K. Raghavendra Rao. The film was jointly produced by C. Aswani Dutt and Allu Aravind under the banner of United Producers. It introduced Allu Arjun, the second son of producer Allu Aravind, and Aditi Agarwal in their debut lead roles.

For this milestone project, Raghavendra Rao selected the Himalayas, particularly Gangotri, as the location for the film’s opening shot and several pivotal scenes. The choice of this sacred site aligned with the film’s storyline. In September 2002, the production team traveled to New Delhi before proceeding to the Himalayas to begin filming. The "Ganga" song was shot at Gangotri starting from 25 September 2002.

By November 2002, the team returned to Hyderabad after completing an extensive schedule in North India, which included filming key scenes and two songs in locations such as Haridwar.
