Storyline

After the release of Yevadu (2014), Vamsi Paidipally approached Akkineni Nagarjuna and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. for a multistarrer film. Prasad V Potluri announced in early April 2014 that he would be producing it under the banner PVP Cinema. Pre-production began in late March 2014 and the film was expected to go on floors in July 2014. During the promotion of Manam (2014), Nagarjuna said that the final script is getting ready. The final narration was given to both Nagarjuna and Rama Rao Jr. in the end of June 2014.

Nagarjuna said in an interview said that this film will have an interesting theme and will be on the lines of Missamma (1955), adding that the film's production would begin in December after he completes his pending commitments. Rama Rao Jr. walked out of the project due to unknown reasons and it was rumoured that he walked out just to not hurt Nandamuri Balakrishna who had differences with Nagarjuna in the past. With Karthi subsequently replacing Rama Rao Jr., the film turned into a bilingual filmed simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil, marking the first time in recent few years where two prominent actors from Telugu and Tamil cinema shared screen space for a multistarrer.

In late January 2015, the film was confirmed to be an official remake of The Intouchables (2011) which dealt with the relationship of a quadriplegic patient and his caretaker. Paidipally made a lot of changes in the script to make it more relevant to south Indian audience by adding elements that would appeal to them. Gopi Sunder was signed in on as the film's music director marking his first collaboration with Paidipally. The film had its official launch twice, first on 11 February 2015 at Hyderabad and on 15 March 2015 at Chennai. P. S. Vinod was confirmed as the film's cinematographer. Abburi Ravi penned the dialogues for the Telugu version. The film was titled Oopiri in Telugu and Thozha in Tamil; the same was announced on 18 September 2015.
