Principal photography of the film began in January 2020 in Hyderabad and the film was released on 9 April 2021. Vakeel Saab faced several challenges, including canceled benefit shows and blocked ticket price hikes due to the Andhra Pradesh government's refusal to enforce a High Court-approved increase, reportedly due to political vendetta against Pawan Kalyan.[3] Additionally, many screenings were canceled shortly after its release due to a lockdown imposed following the severe second wave of COVID-19 in the country.[2] Despite these issues, the film grossed ₹137.65 crore worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Telugu film of the year.[2]
