Producer Bellamkonda Suresh revealed that Samantha had agreed to Alludu Seenu early in her career, when she had only done a few films. “The film took time to complete, but Samantha stayed committed and honored her word,” he said, highlighting her professionalism and loyalty. Her willingness to see the project through reflected her grounded nature despite rising fame.

In an unusual gesture, Samantha was not paid a traditional fee for the film. Instead, Bellamkonda Suresh gifted her one of his three farmhouses, knowing she was looking to purchase one. The film initially had a two-heroine concept, but Samantha’s dedication remained constant throughout the production.

Suresh also spoke about Tamannaah’s involvement in the project, noting that she agreed to do an item song due to their good relationship. He paid her ₹90 lakh, significantly less than her current ₹3–4 crore fee, showcasing how industry relationships often play a crucial role in casting and collaboration.
