Ram Gopal Varma announced that he was set to direct a Telugu film titled Bejawada Rowdilu in a press note in September 2010, which would revolve around the rowdy wars of Vijayawada also known as bejawada.[2] The title started a controversy from vijayawada locales who felt that title wrongly defamed their city, so Varma in August 2011 announced that the film would simply be known as Bejawada.[3] The film was officially launched on May 12, 2011 with Ram Gopal Varma's protege, Vivek Krishna, announced as the director.[4] The team held a photo shoot and filmed for two days in Vijayawada with Preetika Rao, before removing her from the project with the producer citing that she looked older than the lead actor, Naga Chaitanya.[5] She was subsequently replaced by Amala Paul.
