‘Ante Sundaraniki’ is written and directed by Vivek Athreya and is billed as an entertainer. Music composer Vivek Sagar, cinematographer Niketh Bommi, and editor Raviteja Girijala make up the technical team. Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar Y produce the film under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers.
The makers also released a poster with Fahadh's silhouette to share details about the announcement ahead of the video's release.
Nani was seen as a seemingly naive character performing a religious ceremony in a promo video for the film, which was released on February 23 ahead of the actor’s birthday on February 24. The video sets the tone for a fun family drama. Actors Nadia, Harsha Vardhan, Suhas, and Rahul Ramakrishna are among the cast members who will play pivotal roles in the film.
