Production
Director Srinivas Raju announced his second directorial venture and called Nannavanu as a pure love story. He had said that the story had flashed to his mind during his engineering study days and was keeping on working on it. He said that actor Prajwal was having two different get-ups, one being a lawyer role. Shooting was initially scheduled for a straight 72 days but the team finished well within 58 days. During the shooting process, since the days clashed with the general elections, the team had to shift to Hyderabad's Ramoji Rao Studios to complete some sequences. However, the film got entangled into controversies such as actress Aindrita not attending the promotional campaigns since she alleged that she wasn't paid as promised by the producer. The director claimed that the producer's busy schedule was one of the reasons for the delayed release of the film.

All the songs are composed by Ilaiyaraaja teaming up with the director yet again.

Actor Devaraj was the special invitee and he released the official soundtrack. The event was held in Bangalore on 8 May 2010.
