Production
Development on Prema Oka Maikam began in 2012 and Charmi Kaur was announced to perform one of the lead roles.[7] Chandu denied claims that Kaur was hired to "boost the movie's glamour quotient" and stated that they chose her because they believed that she could perform the role and that "we felt she was apt, but not because to add glamor".[7] Footage for Prema Oka Maikam was shot in Bangalore and Hyderabad and the film went into post production in early 2013.[7] The film initially had a projected release date of February 2013, but was pushed back to an August release.[7][8]
The film's music was written by M.G.K. Praveen, who composed eight songs for Prema Oka Maikam.[9]
Reception
IndiaGlitz panned the movie, remarking that it was "easily the year's worst ever movie".[10] The reviewer commented that the background music was "annoying and highly inappropriate", and that the narration was "downright stupid".[10]
