After Mohanbabu snapped ties with Krishnavamsi following some differences of opinion for the film with Vishnu as hero, YVS Choudary came in handy for the producer to bring out a film on the banner of Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures.

The story narrated by YVS Choudary tentatively titled 'Saleem' impressed the actor-cum-producer. 'Dummu Reputadu' is the tagline of the movie. The story turned very interesting when Choudary made Mohanbabu to play the villain in the film. It is worth mentioning here that Mohanbabu stopped doing villainy for a long time.

Though his role in 'Bujjigadu' had negative shades, it is not a complete villainy and is very positive in the end.

However, it is learnt that Mohanbabu had agreed to play the villain in which his son is playing he hero. This had brought good craze on the project.

Presently YVS Chodary is busy in searching suitable locations in and around Orissa.
