The movie is produced by Yeshwanth Daggumati and co-produced by Prabu Raja. The story is written by Saikiran Daida, Kavi Siddhartha and Toby Osborne. Actress Kushee Ravi, who is playing a pregnant woman in the film, interacted with the media about the film.
Talking about her first reaction to the script, she said "The first question that I asked them was why only me could fit into the character. When I first read the synopsis of the script, I was like -- Should I play this mother character with two kids and one carrying? Because this is my first Telugu film. And the taste of Telugu film industry is quite different from all other industries. It's fanbase is different. Later when I introspected myself, let's take up this role and see what audience would feel. Because my role in Diya was different. I got good appreciation for it."
Talking about her homework for the role, he said "In general, I keep observing people a lot. For an actor, if you keep observing films stars you tend to replicate them on the screen. If you watch general public, you tend to take their mannerisms. Audiences would get connected to it. Coming to prepping myself to the character, I watched pregnant woman a lot."
Talking about her experience working with Sriram, she said "I happened to watch all his work before coming on to the film sets of Pindam. Initially, I was nervous. I thought I should look like a proper Telugu girl and be ready with all my lines. Telugu and Kannada are like a sister-brother language, it has a same 'lipi'. Sriram garu would guide me through my lines since I am new to the language. Whenever I was in the frame he used to assist me."
Talking about working with young team, she said "Sai Kiran garu and Yeshwanth garu were so good. I have never done a film like this. We shot in August, it was completed in September. Post-production got over in October and November. I got a call from my manager saying Pindam is getting released in December. I was surprised at how fast this young team of filmmakers have worked on the project. Sai Kiran knew what he wanted. Yeshwanth garu was not compromising on things. Camera work from Satish garu is amazing with his work. Fortunate to have worked with a team of this sort."
