The song was also released in other languages through the same name. Upon the release, it was compared to "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" from Pushpa: The Rise (2021), and was subjected to criticism owing to its lyrics and dance choreography.[2][3] Sreeleela's dance was also criticized while comparing with her performance in "Kurchi Madathapetti" from Guntur Kaaram (2024).[4] In contrast, following the film's release, it peaked at number one on the Billboard India Songs in the third week and had a significant commercial success.[5]
Owing to the success of "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" from Pushpa: The Rise (2021), the production team insisted Devi Sri Prasad to include a similar item number in the sequel. By March 2023, the song was finalized.[6] Tamil singer Sublahshini was chosen to record the song.[7]
Sublashini had recorded the song in Tamil, Hindi and Kannada versions. Ujjaini Mukherjee was hired to sing the Bengali version of the song.[8] Priya Jerson recorded the Malayalam version of the song.[9]
There were speculations about various actresses including Triptii Dimri, Janhvi Kapoor, Disha Patani and Shraddha Kapoor, being considered for the item song.[10][11][12] However, these speculations turned out to be false as Sreeleela was later finalised for the song.[13][14] Jani Master was hired to choreograph the song, but was eventually replaced by Ganesh Acharya, due to sexual assault allegations.[15] The latter had also choreographed the song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava".[16] The song was filmed in November 2024 in Hyderabad.[17]
The music video is a direct clip from the scenes in Pushpa 2: The Rule. The scenes primarily featured Sreeleela and Allu Arjun dancing together.[18] It also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Rao Ramesh and others.[19]
The song was launched at a promotional event in Chennai on 24 November 2024.[20][21] The full video song was later released on YouTube on 19 December 2024.
