Cast

Production

The film's title was announced as Ekaloveyudu and was to be directed by a debutant. The title was created by writer Sai. [1] Regarding the title, one of the producers, Amarchand Medikonda, state that "There is a sentiment behind the title of the film. Our blockbusters Suryudu and Narasimha Naidu ended with the same last two letters. In an interview with Idlebrain , Uday Kiran justified the title by stating that, "In Mahabharath, the character of Ekalavya is known for his devotion towards his guru. He kept his word for the guru. He cut his thumb and presented it as dhanam. Here, the hero too holds his promise". The film was shot in 75 days. [2] [3]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Anil Krishna. [4] The audio was launched on 21 September with KS Rama Rao, B. Gopal, Sekhar Suri, Ravi Raja Pinisetty, C. Kalyan, Devi Vara Prasad, and Medikonda Murali Krishna attending the event. [5]

Release and reception

The film was scheduled to release in the second half of April. [2] A critic from Full Hyderabad gave the film a rating of three and a half out of five and wrote that "EkaLoveYudu is just for Uday Kiran fans, and those desperate for any romance". [6] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "'Ekloveyudu' on the same track lacks freshness in presentation, and seems to have failed in garnering the attention of the audience. A bad start for the maker yet if he looks into his errors, his next might be a hit in the future". [7]
