When filmmaker Vikram Kumar approached Nagarjuna, through Sudhakar Reddy (Nagarjuna's friend and a reputed film distributor) with the idea of making a film featuring the actors from three generations of Akkineni family, Nagarjuna, though found the idea interesting, asked Vikram Kumar to make a successful film in Telugu before he could bankroll it, as such a film was never made before in Telugu cinema. Vikram Kumar took it as a challenge and made a film titled "Ishq" featuring actor Nithin (Son of Sudhakar Reddy), who faced a consecutive 11 disasters before appearing in Ishq. The film became an instant hit, thus making Nagarjuna signing the project and giving a huge break for Nithin. Reportedly, Vikram Kumar worked for one year on the script before taking it to sets.
This film comprises of remix of a classic song of Akkineni Nageswara Rao, "Nenu Puttanu" from the film Prem Nagar. However, due to untimely demise of ANR before the song is shot, the clips from the original were used in the background of this song, thus making it appeal as a tribute to the original.
