Production

After the announcement of Gautham Menon's Tamil project with the working title, Jessy, Manjula Ghattamaneni (Mahesh Babu's sister) approached Gautham Menon to do a Telugu version of the same, with Mahesh Babu in the lead. Gautham, who was initially hesitant to do another version, later agreed to Manjula's proposal and forwarded the script to Mahesh Babu although he felt that it "is not Mahesh kind of film".

The film was shot in Chennai, Alappuzha, Goa and Hyderabad. The climax was shot at Central Park. Shooting continued through the latter part of 2009, with the film garnering significant media interest, with schedules in the United States, with Princeton University being used as a backdrop for song picturisation.

Trisha and Silambarasan made a cameo in this version, and Telugu director Puri Jagannadh appears as himself in a guest role.
