Production
Initially, Nithiin was approached for the lead role, but he believed that Siddhu would do the role more justice than he could. After listening to him narrating the story, Siddhu gave his approval. The film launched with a muhuratam ceremony on 18 October 2023 in Hyderabad, which was attended by the film's cast, crew and some other figures in Telugu cinema, including Nani, Aadhi Pinisetty and Nithiin. 'Telusu Kada' also marks Shetty's debut in the Tollywood industry. On 7 February 2023, the film's team released a motion picture on occasion of Siddhu's birthday. Reportedly, Siddhu may have plans to postpone Telusu Kada, citing that he didn't want to risk his career with a "routine romantic film," instead preferring more energetic films.
