Nassar, Pithamagan Mahadevan, Sampath Raj and Brahmanandam played key supporting roles.
Written by Ram Mohan P, Soggade Chinni Nayana revolves around the soul of Bangarraju, a flirtatious zamindar whom Yama (the god of the underworld) sends back to earth to reconcile his son (Ram "Ramu" Mohan) and his wife Seetha; they are on the brink of divorce. In the process, he learns about his death and its connection with a local Shiva temple.
P. S. Vinod and Siddhardh Ramaswami provided the cinematography, and Anup Rubens composed the film's soundtrack and background score. Prawin Pudi edited the film. Principal photography for the film began on 19 November 2014 after it was launched in Hyderabad, and wrapped on 4 October 2015. Most of the film was shot in and around Rajahmundry and Mysore.
Produced on a budget of ₹150–200 million, Soggade Chinni Nayana was released worldwide on 15 January 2016 during the Makar Sankranti festival season in 800-900 screens. It received positive reviews from critics and was commercially successful, earning ₹750 million globally.
