The activists, raising slogans, ventured onto the location and damaged furniture and film equipment thus forcing the crew to call off the shoot.

In October 2011, it was announced that Taapsee Pannu who earlier worked with Ravi Teja in Veera was signed for the film.

Veteran actor Kaikala Satyanarayana who was famous for his portrayal of Yama Dharmaraju in several films was cast for that role.

Top comedians of Telugu cinema like Bramhanandam, M. S. Narayana, Raghu Babu, Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, Srinivas Reddy and Vennela Kishore were also cast for vital roles in the film.

The lyrics for the songs were written by Bhaskarabhatla, Ramajogayya Sastry, Suddala Ashok Teja and Basha Sri.

[citation needed] The movie met with negative reviews, however Ravi Teja's Performance received praise.

Rediff gave a review stating "Daruvu may be lapped up by Ravi Teja fans but others may find it pretty dreary.

Even Ravi Teja's comic timing and Taapsee's simpering can't resurrect a film that has gaping plot holes you could fall into.
