Krishnam Raju shared his happiness and looked very confident about the film. Our intention to start producing films again on our home banner after a gap of 16 years is to project Prabhas in a never before seen style. I wanted to porttray him a in stylish manner and we made Billa which, I am sure, is going to set a benchmark in Telugu films. Prabhas is going to look ultra modern - his looks are chic and costumes are extremely stylish. When Meher Ramesh told this concept, Prabhas liked it immediately but he was hesitant whether I would say yes or not. He was surprised when I immediately okayed. I know the tastes of todays generation and liked the Billa concept, Krishnam Raju informed. Telugu Movie News

We began the movie on November 14th and my producer wanted it to to be released on Ugadi. Except a delay of two to three days, we have made it.
