  • Sidelights

    • Producers of the movie, Neelima and Nagesh are NRIs. Responding to the call of Pawan Kalyan, they returned to India to work for Praja Rajyam Party. They lost huge money in elections and to make up for the losses, Pawan Kalyan did Panjaa to them.
    • Vishnu Vardhan had to choose between directing Ajith in Billa 2 and Pawan Kalyan in "Panjaa" as the dates of both the movies clashed. Vishnu chose Panjaa.
    • Jiah Khan and Shazahn Padamsee, who paired up with Ram Charan were considered for the other female role. However, eventually King Fisher model Anjali Lavania was finalized.
    • Geeta Kapoor, best known for work in the song "Sheila Ki Jawani" from the Hindi film Tees Maar Khan choreographed for the item number in the movie.
    • The movie was later dubbed in to Tamil as "Kuri" but failed to make a mark on Tamil audience.
    • During the movie shoot, Yuvan Shankar Raja's mother expired. Yuvan had worked on the movie album despite the heavy loss.
    • Famous rapper Blaze had composed a special song and performed it live on audio release function stage.
