Production
The film began production under the name The Deal and was initialled planned as a bilingual in Telugu and Hindi. Mumbai-based model Mohit was cast as one of the leads along with Namitha, whose real-life boyfriend, Steven Kapoor, played her husband in the film. Bollywood actress Shefali Jariwala did an item song in the film.[2] The film was directed by Habib Nasir, who left the project midway along with Namitha and Kapoor due to script changes made by Soma Vijay Prakash (the film's producer) to suit the film's low budget. Soma Vijay Prakash took over direction and added a comedy track that involved himself as an actor.[1]
