This is for the first time that the actor would be working with Vamshi, whose last film Oopiri was a success in both Telugu and Tamil. Oopiri was released as Thozha in Tamil.

Devi Sri Prasad previously worked with Mahesh Babu for 1-Nenokaddine.

Mahesh 25 will be produced under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations by Dil Raju along with Vyjayanthi films, owned by C Ashwini Dutt.
