Our blockbusters Suryudu and Narasimha Naidu ended with the same last two letters. In an interview with Idlebrain, Uday Kiran justified the title by stating that, "In Mahabharath, the character of Ekalavya is known for his devotion towards his guru. He kept his word for the guru. He cut his thumb and presented it as dhanam [a donation]. Here, the hero too holds his promise". The film was shot in 75 days.{{cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/news/function/pressmeet-ekaloveyudu.html|title=Ekaloveyudu Press Meet|work=idlebrain.com}}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/udaykiran-ekaloveyudu.html|title=Uday Kiran interview - Telugu Cinema interview - Telugu film actor|website=www.idlebrain.com|access-date=2 February 2020|archive-date=2 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200202175824/http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/udaykiran-ekaloveyudu.html|url-status=live}}
