On 7 March 2011, the film was launched with a ceremonial Puja ceremony, with Paruchuri Brothers who wrote the dialogues for the film, handing over the bounded script to the director.

Manoj Manchu was first insistent on Nithya Menen being signed as the female lead. Pranitha of Baava fame was reported to play another lead female character. The producer roped in Kriti Kharbanda, who shot to fame after the release of Theenmaar. According to sources, the producers dropped her on the third day of the shoot, since she "threw starry tantrums".
