Production

In July 2013, PVP Cinema acquired Telugu remake rights of the Tamil film Soodhu Kavvum, but later sold them. Rajasekhar expressed interest in starring in a remake of the Tamil film Soodhu Kavvum as he felt that the film would suit him. The lead actress was revealed to be Anjali Lavania of Panjaa fame. However, Lavania was replaced by Sheena Shahabadi, who portrays Rajasekhar's imaginary girlfriend. The film is co-produced by his wife Jeevitha, who previously produced Aaptudu. Achu Rajamani, the film's music composer, signed to portray a supporting role in his acting debut. Rajasekhar started smoking for his role in the film. The film was titled Gaddam Gang as the film revolves around a group of people who engage in negative activities and don't shave.
