The film was launched with a muhuratam ceremony on 18 October 2023 in Hyderabad, which was attended by the film's cast, crew and other figures in Telugu cinema, including Nani, Aadhi Pinisetty and Nithiin.[5] Nithiin was initially supposed to star in the film but it was determined that Siddhu would be better suited for the protagonist's role.[6] Although this film was to be Srinidhi Shetty's debut in Telugu cinema, due to the film's lengthy production, her first Telugu release became HIT: The Third Case.[7]
Shooting commenced on 6 August 2024 in Hyderabad. A minor portion was shot in Ranipet.[8] Deccan Chronicle revealed that Siddhu had changed his appearance, trimming his hair for his role in the film.[9]
