Trivia:
The lead actors' real names were used for their characters. Actor Sudeep as multi-millionaire industrialist Sudeep, and actor Nani as fire-worker Nani.

Rajamouli wanted to stop the production since the 'Ee' made by the VFX didn't impress him at all. But since around 4-8 Crores were already spent, he decided to move forward and generate the 'Ee' from scratch.

S.S. Rajamouli made Nani to cover his head completely in cloth and asked him to perform various emotions just through body language. This data was given to the animation team who then created all the movements and body language for the fly.

This movie was screened to critical acclaim at L'Étrange Film Festival. The film has garnered the Best Feature Film in Telugu and the Best Special Effects at the 60th National Film Awards, and also garnered awards for the Most Original Film, Best Special Effects, Best Comedy, Best Fights, Best Film to watch with a crowd, Best Editing, Best Villain and Best Hero (Fly) in the 8th Annual Edition Toronto After Dark Film Festival.

This was one of the first times in the history of Indian cinema that Live action animation and Visual effects were used to this extent. They were supervised by Rahul Venugopal, Adel Adili and Pete Draper of Makuta effects.

This movie was simultaneously made in Telugu under the title "Eega", with a dubbed Malayalam version titled "Eecha". After the movie emerged as a worldwide blockbuster, it was dubbed into Hindi as "Makkhi". After being dubbed in Thai, a Chinese dub titled "Kung Fu Housefly" was also reportedly planned.
