The film is being shot in Rajamundry and Hyderabad."[1]
Later, in an interview to the media, Sivaji spoke about his character in the film. He spoke "I change the way I look — from the clothes I wear to my dressing to my moustache, hair styling. A military man who works in the Burmese Army, comes hunting for a friend and meets a girl called Kamala and falls for her." He also added "The entire film was shot in rain from the first frame to the last frame. Wherever there was water we would stop and shoot there. We must have used water from many lakes".[3]
Soundtrack
Kishan Kavadiya aka KK composed the Music for the film while Vanamali penned the lyrics for all the songs. In early January 2014, it was reported that the film's audio would be launched on 25 January 2014. The film's audio was launched on the said date at Hyderabad. The entire cast and crew made their way to the event which was a fun filled affair.[4]
A critic from The Hindu wrote, "The entire film is shot in the rain to show the mood of the story and the characters. The setting is very believable and cinematography captures the locations and ambience vividly" but concluded that "Many scenes were incorporated to fill the spaces, dialogues are dramatic and the pace slow. Archana and Sivaji are okay but they didn’t quite fit into the period drama, both sounding bit awkward in their costumes and dialogues".[5]
