Last year in December, the shooting for 'Pushpa' was suspended after six crew members had tested positive while shooting in Visakhapatnam. However, Allu Arjun had tested negative at that time when he got himself tested for the coronavirus.

Directed by Sukumar, the film is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media. Oscar-winning Resul Pookutty will be working on the sound of this film, while Devi Sri Prasad is handling the music of 'Pushpa'.
