Production

Hanu Raghavpudi got the idea for the film when he bought a book that had an unopened inland letter. Regarding the same, he told The Hindu, "The letter I found in that book, in 2007, was from a mother to her son. I gathered that their family is from Vijayawada and the son is living in a hostel. She had enquired about his well-being and asked when he would be home.

Dulquer Salmaan was roped in to play the lead role as a military officer, and it is his second collaboration in Telugu cinema with Vyjayanthi Movies after Mahanati (2018). Mrunal Thakur was signed to play Sita by marking her debut in Telugu cinema before Pooja Hegde was finalized and later she is out of the project due to date clashes.

The principal photography for the film, commenced in April 2021 in Kashmir and the first schedule wrapped up in July 2021. The primary locations in Kashmir were Srinagar's Dal Lake, Jalali House and Sonamarg's Thajwass Glacier. After two subsequent schedules in Russia and Hyderabad, the final schedule took place in April 2022. Some parts of the song "Kaanunna Kalyanam" was also reshot and added in the Tamil version as "Kannukkule".
