Eega was directed by SS Rajamouli and starred Kichcha Sudeepa, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Nani. The movie was released in four languages as Eega in Telugu, Naan Ee in Tamil, Eecha in Malayalam, and Makkhi in Hindi.

While the film had done a great business at the box office in the Telugu markets, it had failed to make a mark at the ticket windows in the Hindi belt. Well, Samantha, and Nani were not such big names in the South at that time, but now, even people in the Hindi market have started knowing them.
