Megastar Chiranjeevi, D Ramanaidu, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, T Subba Ramireddy, A Kodanda Ramireddy, Murali Mohan and G Aadi Sheshagiri Rao attended the film launch event. While Chiranjeevi sounded the clap board for the muhurat shot, T Subba Ramireddy switched on the camera and A Kodanda Ramireddy directed the first shot.

Later addressing the media Jayapradha said, “I won Parliamentary elections twice from Uttar Pradesh constituencies. Hence I wanted to do something for Bhojpuri film industry and decided to produce this film. So far I’ve worked in 8 languages and with this Bhojpuri film the number will increase to 9. ‘Matru Devobhava’ is my favourite film. The major part of the film will be shot in Hyderabad. Very soon I would be doing a film in Telugu as well.”

Shatrughan Sinha and Rakhi Sawant are playing vital roles in the film.
