Development

Post Manam (2014), Nagarjuna announced his next film in late August 2014 which would be directed by debutante Kalyan Krishna and produced by himself and Ram Mohan P under the banner of Annapurna Studios.[1] The film's title was confirmed as Soggade Chinni Nayana, a famous song from Dasara Bullodu starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao.[2]

Casting

Nagarjuna was announced to play a dual role in the film and Ramya Krishnan was selected as one of the female leads.[3] Nagarjuna revealed that the film will have a rustic backdrop and he would be seen sporting a proper panche kattu for one of the characters.[4] He reportedly wanted to cast Pranitha Subhash as the other female lead but things did not work out.[5] Sonal Chauhan was considered for the other female lead.[6] The makers had a change of mind and finalized Lavanya Tripathi as the second female lead.[7] It was known later that Nagarjuna will be seen as a grandfather and a grandson in the film.[8]

Lavanya said that she would play a traditional Indian girl paired opposite the grandson character and added that her role in the film has a romantic touch.[9] Brahmanandam was confirmed as a part of the film's cast in mid December 2014.[10] Hamsa Nandini was selected for a crucial supporting role and was also confirmed to perform a special song along with Nagarjuna.[11] Anchor Anasuya was selected to play the role of Nagarjuna's cousin in the film and she was expected to join the film's sets in February 2015.[12] This role was initially offered to Swati Reddy who backed out citing lack of dates.[13]

Filming

The film was announced to be shot in and around Rajahmundry in late September 2014.[14] The film was formally launched on the morning on 19 November 2014 at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.[15] Few hours after the launch, the film's principal photography began at a set in the same studio.[16] Few key scenes on Nagarjuna and Brahmanandam were shot at Ramoji Film City in mid December 2014.[10] After completing a couple of shooting schedules, a fresh one began on 11 February 2015.[17] Filming continued at Mysore from 10 March 2015 after completing most of the filming in Rajahmundry.[18] Few scenes were shot at a 1500 year old Vishnu temple in Mysore.[19]
