Karthik has been writing a book titled Oka Laila Kosam which is a collection of his experiences with Nandana.
Nandana meanwhile receives the book Oka Laila Kosam from Shahrukh who credits its writer as the owner of the pigeons she has.
[6] The project was announced officially in late July 2013 stating that the film would be produced by Nagarjuna himself on his home banner Annapoorna Studios.
Art director was P. S. Varma, fights were composed by Vijay and costumes were designed by Neeraja Kona.
[10] In early October 2013, 2010 Miss Universe runner up Pooja Hegde was selected to play the heroine in the film marking her Telugu debut.
[11] Former anchor turned actor Shyamala was selected to play Naga Chaitanya's sister in the film which was supposed to be her debut as an actress though Loukyam released earlier.
[17] After a gap due to Akkineni Nageswara Rao's death, Naga Chaitanya joined the film's shoot in February 2014.
[25] On 20 May 2014 Pooja Hegde informed via Twitter that the film's talkie part has been wrapped up and only the songs are left to be shot.
[27] Because of the songs shoot, Chaitanya could not attend the promotional activities of Autonagar Surya prior to the film's release.
[31] Anoop Rubens composed the film's soundtrack and the background score marking his second collaboration with Vijay Kumar Konda.
The platinum disc function was held on 20 September 2014, at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, which coincides with the 100th day celebrations of Manam.
[36] The film's overseas theatrical screening & distribution rights were acquired by Blue Sky Cinemas.
[45][46] The trailer registered positive response from the viewers and received 0.1 million views in YouTube in one day of its release.
[47] Naga Chaitanya, Pooja Hegde, Vijay Kumar Konda and Anoop Rubens did a flash mob and entertained the huge crowd who attended the launch of two songs of the soundtrack at PVP Mall in Vijayawada on 17 August 2014 as a part of the film's promotion.
[48] However, the event ended on an ugly note as people were seen pushing each other while hooting and cheering for Chaitanya who tried to get closer to him and the situation soon got out of hand as a mini stampede ensued in the mall.
[53] Upon release the film got what the IB Times called "decent" reviews with the critics mostly praising the lead actors performances and the gripping screenplay.
Alas, that option is out of the question .Oka Laila Kosam, which is partly refreshing, is messed up mostly as it suffers from clichéd storytelling.
"[60] Rajitha S. of The New Indian Express wrote "The film starts on a boring note, but it gets racy until the end of first half.
The second half has too many elements which makes it clear that director Vijay Kumar Konda wanted to attribute too many characteristics to Naga Chaitanya.
