In an interview, Bellamkonda Ganesh talked about the film and said that Swathi Muthyam’s director, Lakshman K Krishna, was his mutual friend. Further, he spoke about the Telugu film and explained,
Swathi Muthyam’ has got something new. We made this film with the conviction that it will click with the audience. This film is a situational comedy. You will leave the audience with a smile on your face. There is no vulgarity anywhere. Right from the start, nowhere is the film embarrassing. It’s a clean family entertainer. It’s great to act alongside the likes of Rao Ramesh garu and VK Naresh garu in my very first film. It was a very good experience. Acting is about how the other one reacts to our performance. Acting with talented artists improved my timing.”
