In early October 2021, Nandamuri Balakrishna was approached by Aha to host a talk show, with Krish Jagarlamudi serving as the director.[7] Filming began at Annapurna Studios, though Balakrishna was injured during the shoot.[8] The show was formally announced in late October, with its premiere scheduled for 4 November 2021.[9]

For the second season, Prasanth Varma was hired to shoot the promotional teasers.[10] The season's anthem song was sung by Roll Rida and composed by Mahati Swara Sagar.[11][12] The first episode of the second season, featuring N. Chandrababu Naidu was filmed on 4 October 2022.[13] An episode featuring Pawan Kalyan was shot on 27 December 2022.[14][15]

The third season's first episode was filmed in early October 2023 and premiered on 17 October 2023,[16][17] while the second episode was filmed in mid-November 2023.[18]

In early October 2024, the fourth season was announced, with an animated trailer revealing the launch date of 25 October 2024.[19][20] The first episode of the fourth season, featuring N. Chandrababu Naidu, was filmed on 20 October 2024 at Annapurna Studios.[21][22] Initially, the second episode was scheduled to feature the cast of Kanguva, filmed on 24 October 2024.[23][24] However, it was replaced by an episode featuring the cast and crew of Lucky Baskhar, which was shot on 28 October 2024.[25] The Kanguva episode was later aired as the third episode.[26]
