The film marks the Telugu debut of Atharvaa and Mirnalini Ravi.[8][9] Principal photography began in December 2011 and wrapped in December 2011. The film has music composed by Mickey J. Meyer, cinematography was handled by Ayananka Bose, and editing by Chota K. Prasad.
Gaddalakonda Ganesh was released on 18 January 2019. The film received positive response from both critics and audiences praising cast performances (particularly Varun Tej and Pooja Hegde), action, direction, story and screenplay.[10] The film was commercially successful, grossing ₹45 crore at the box office.[11] Initially titled Valmiki, the title was changed to Gaddalakonda Ganesh after several controversies and a legal dispute.
