Production
The film began production under the name JinthTha Tha, but S. S. Rajamouli and M. M. Keeravani advised the director to change the title because of its similarity to a song from Vikramarkudu (2006) will make the audience think that the film stars Ravi Teja.[1] Debutant Ranjith Somi, who previously starred in Nuvvu Nenu Okkatavudam, was signed as the main actor.[2] The film is produced by Ranjith Somi's brother, Bharath Somi.[3] Malayalam actor Arjun plays a negative role in this film, which will mark his Telugu debut.[1] Chiranjeevi released the film's teaser.[4][5]
Reception
A critic from Telangana Today wrote that "Even after being a sensible story, direction and screenplay fail to turn the movie into a gripping one".[6]
