Bunny Vas and Vidhya Koppineedi are bankrolling the film under GA2 Pictures. Bhanu Pratapa and Riyaz Chowdary are the co-producers.

While the promotional campaign of the film had begun recently, the popularity of the folk number Lingi Lingi Lingidi, composed by Mithun Mukundan is hugely working in favour of the film. The number, sung by Relare Rela fame P Raghu is a chartbuster, amassing over 31 million views on Youtube in a span of two months. The team celebrated its success by cutting a cake earlier this week.
