Perspective
The music launch was delayed multiple times, which was attributed to the film's production troubles.[5] Initially, it was scheduled during the last week of September 2013, which did not happen.[5] After filming of the last song featuring Chaitanya and Samantha, the producers planned to conduct the film's music launch on the occasion of Chaitanya's birthday, 23 November 2013.[6] But by mid-November, they had one more song to be filmed, which was the item number "Hyderabadi Biriyani",[2] which led the team to postpone the event to 30 November; the same day, the film's production has been wrapped.[7] After the post-production process, Katta confirmed that the film's music will be launched on 9 January 2014.[4] But was again postponed to 13 January, the eve of Makar Sankranti, which also did not happen.[8]
A press note was released by producer Atchi Reddy on 19 January, that the film's music would be launched at an event on 31 January at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad.[9][10] The rights for the soundtrack album were purchased and marketed by Aditya Music.[11] The track list was released on 30 January 2014, through Aditya Music's social media page.[11] The audio launch was held on 31 January 2014.[12] Apart from the film's cast and crew, the other members who attended the event were Sukumar and Sharwanand, with Rana Daggubati as the chief guest.[13][14]
