Interesting Facts 

• Director Surender Reddy first movie blockbuster next two movies flops, so he took a break, he asked Vakkantham Vamsi who we worked on with Ashok to prepare an entertainment subject without an ounce of blood and he told him Kick story. Surender Reddy liked it. Along with Vamsi, they spent it for 6 months, script came out well and dialogues were written by Abburi Ravi  
• First they told it to NTR, NTR said hero characterization is nice but ee time lo experiment cheyyadam avasaram ani reject chesaru, next they met Prabhas, he rejected it, and they he felt the characterization wouldn’t suit anyone else but Rvaiteja, went and met him and Tod him to the story and immediately said yes, at the time he was supposed to do a socio fantasy movie called Kandireega with Krushna Vamsi 
• The budget was too much and that would take a long time so he put that aside and signed this movie, hamayya finally hero dorakaru anukunnaru, Ileana heroine, Kota Rao Ramesh Brahmanandham, Venu Madhav, Sayaji Shinde rest of the cast fixed 
• But for Raviteja opposite/villain role they couldn’t fi d anyone. They asked a lot of people in telugu and even asked Jagapathi Babu, but a Tamil magazine in a movie called Aagamu Puram Surender Reddy saw Shyam stills, and he contacted him and without a 2nd thought, Shyam did the movie
