A remake of the Kannada film Josh (2009), the bilingual Telugu and Tamil project was launched by Kannada producer S. V. Babu. It marked the acting debut of Siddharth Rajkumar, a nephew of actor Krishnam Raju and a cousin of Prabhas.[4] The film also marked the debut of actresses Rakul Preet Singh and Aishwarya Devan in the Tamil and Telugu film industries, and it became the first project the actresses had signed in either language.[5][6]

The Telugu version of the film was directed by Gautham Patnaik, the brother of renowned music composer R. P. Patnaik. The Telugu version has been shot in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Goa.[7] Production for the Telugu film was completed by June 2011.[8]

The director of the original Kannada film, Shivamani, was approached to make the Tamil version but his refusal meant that newcomer R. N. Saran worked on the project.[9] A song for the Tamil version of the film was shot in August 2011 in a secluded area of Goa, where the team of Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981) had earlier shot.[10]
