The soundtrack was composed by Mani Sharma. It is the remake of 2007 Tamil language film Billa, which itself is a remake of 1980 film Billa, and that itself was a remake of 1978 Hindi film Don.

Tasked with infiltrating the mafia, he embarks on a covert mission to gather intelligence on a major weapons deal.

Production

During the making of Kantri (2008), actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. expressed his intention of remaking Billa (2007) in Telugu following his grandfather N. T. Rama Rao's Yugandhar (1979). Meher Ramesh, however, felt that Rama Rao Jr. would not fit into the role at that stage of his career. Ramesh also explored the idea of making the film with Ravi Teja, but dropped the idea due to budget constraints.

The film was launched at Gopikrishna Pictures office on October 9, 2008. The film was shot extensively in Malaysia for three months. Filming was completed in 104 working days.
