After much speculation, Suresh Babu confirmed to the media in mid-February 2014 that Pawan Kalyan would play the role of Krishna and Sharrath Marar would be co-producing the film with North Star Entertainment.[9] After considering the titles Deva Devam Bhaje and Gopala Gopala,[10][11] the latter was finalised just before its formal launch on 9 June 2014 at Hyderabad.[12] Anoop Rubens was confirmed to replace Sohail Sen as the music director. Jayanan Vincent was selected to handle the cinematography, despite reports stating that P. C. Sreeram would be doing the job.[13]
Kalyan underwent a special diet and exercise to lose weight for the role in the film.[16] Kishore Kumar said that Kalyan would be seen for 25 minutes, as in the original,[17] but this was later extended to 45 minutes.[18] Kalyan was slightly overweight before signing the film and followed a crash diet comprising milk and fruit, avoiding carbohydrates and oily foods.[19] Reports stated that he would use a Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro in the film.[20] Later his team met Akshay Warde, who had designed a special Vardenchi motorcycle for Akshay Kumar in the original. Warde completed designing a new motorcycle within a month, albeit without a support team like he had had when making the original film.[21]

After considering Nayantara,[22] Anjali,[23] and Radhika Apte for the female lead,[24] Shriya Saran was finalised for the role in early May 2014 after Nayantara walked out of the project citing scheduling and payment issues.[25][26] She called her role a "beautifully etched" and an "inspiring" one. Saran added that the relationship between her and Venkatesh in the film would encapsulate the central debate of the existence of God.[27] Mithun Chakraborthy was signed to repeat his role from the original in early June 2014, thereby making his Telugu debut.[28] Posani Krishna Murali, Krishnudu, Raghu Babu, and Vennela Kishore were selected to play other important roles in the film.[29] Madhu Shalini was selected to play the role of a journalist.[30] It was originally unclear whose role she was remaking from the original when she was engaged on the film.[31] Diksha Panth was selected to play the role that Poonam Jhawer performed in the original.[32] Anisha Ambrose made a cameo appearance.[33]
In early May 2014, the film's co-producer Sharrath Marar, in an interview with IANS, said that the regular shooting was planned to begin on 19 May 2014 after Pawan Kalyan was relieved from his political duties, also saying that the makers were aiming for a September 2014 release.[34] However, it emerged that the film would be officially launched on 2 June 2014 and shooting would be done in a specially erected set in Hyderabad.[35] Principal photography eventually commenced a week later on 9 June 2014 at Ramanaidu Studios at Nanakramguda in Hyderabad.[36] Venkatesh joined the shoot in the same day.[37] Pawan Kalyan allotted 25 days for the shooting of his scenes in the film.[38]
The film's second schedule started on 18 July 2014 at Hyderabad after a brief break while Venkatesh was promoting his film Drushyam. Pawan Kalyan was reported as joining the shoot on 23 July 2014 and a special sequence in which he would be seen driving his personal motorcycle was planned to be shot. His part in the film's dialogue was expected to be completed.[39] However, Kalyan joined the sets two days in advance and scenes featuring him and Venkatesh were shot.[40] The film's shoot continued in the outskirts of Hyderabad where scenes with Venkatesh. Kalyan and Shriya Saran were shot.[41] The film's shoot continued in late August 2014 at Nanakramguda.[42] The exteriors of Osmania University's College for Women in Koti, Hyderabad were used to shoot a court scene. Producer Daggubati Suresh Babu said that the college had a look which suited the scene.[43]
Filming went ahead in Ramoji Film City.[44] Kalyan shot his introductory song in late September 2014.[45] The filming was almost complete and in the middle of October 2014, the film's climax was shot in the outskirts of Hyderabad.[46] An additional song with Venkatesh and Kalyan was also planned.[47] At the end of October 2014, earthquake scenes were shot with Venkatesh and others at Ramoji Film City.[48] Filming then continued in Nanakramguda. By then, three-quarters of the film's shoot was complete and Kalyan was reported as having completed shooting for his part during the subsequent weeks.[49] Shooting for two songs and graphics work remained to be completed.[50] By mid-November 2014, the film's shoot neared completion.[51]
Venkatesh and Shriya joined the film's sets in Vishakhapatnam where a song and a few more scenes were shot.[52] On completion, the production team revealed that the schedule was shot in the city to boost morale at Ramanaidu Studios and also demonstrate to the Bengali and Oriya film industries that shoots could be carried out smoothly even after the destruction of the city by Cyclone Hudhud.[53] The film continued to be shot near Varanasi in early December 2014, with Venkatesh and other actors taking part.[54] A song with Venkatesh and Kalyan was shot in the outskirts of Hyderabad around the end of December.[55] The final schedule began the next day and Kalyan's crucial scenes were planned.[56]
Several new scenes were included in the Telugu version, including two songs.[59] The film also deals with the issue of fake godmen. Daggubati Venkatesh said in an interview with Suresh Kavirayani of the Deccan Chronicle, "We all know about these people. Media also publishes stories about them all the time. We wanted to create some awareness among the people, so we touched on the theme of fake godmen. But there are genuine people too, who give wonderful messages and enlighten people with their preaching".[60] The lyrics of the song Enduko Enduko question the superstitions people believe in.[57]
Dialogues written for and uttered by Kalyan's character in the film were linked to the politics of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Comments such as "Nenu time ki Raavadam Kaadu Tammudu, Nenu Vachake time avutondi" ("I don't come on time; time starts when I come")[a] and "Samardhulu Intlo undipothe Asamardhulu Rajyamelutaru" ("The incompetent will rule if the competent stay at home")[a] appeared to refer to the change in government and Kalyan's own entry into politics.[61]
Anup Rubens was signed in on to compose the film's soundtrack and score in June 2014. Before the official launch of the film, Rubens completed composing a song and was said by the makers to complete composing all the songs in a week's time from the launch.[62] The soundtrack consisted of 4 songs whose lyrics were penned by Chandrabose, Sirivennela Sitaramasastri and Anantha Sreeram.[63] Lahari Music acquired the soundtrack's marketing rights in mid-August 2014.[64] The soundtrack was released on 25 December 2014,[65] and achieved high chart rankings.[66]
The film was released in 1400 screens (1200 theatres) worldwide; 1100 theatres in India, out of which 850 theatres were in the AP/Nizam region, more than 100 theatres in United States and 50 theatres in the rest of the world.[73] A charity performance was held at Shiva Parvathi theatre in Kukatpally, Hyderabad on 10 January 2015 at 2:30 AM.[74] Photos featuring fans celebrating the film's release were widely circulated on Twitter.[75]
The film's poster was unveiled on 28 November 2014,[76] designed by Anil and Bhanu of AB Core Design.[54] It began trending on social networking sites within few hours and became a worldwide trending topic.[77] Anoop Rubens received acclaim for his background score in the poster.[78] Another poster featuring Kalyan and Venkatesh on a motorcycle was unveiled on 16 December 2014.[79] The theatrical trailer was unveiled on 4 December 2014 at the audio launch event.[80] It began trending instantly on YouTube and within two days, it reached the first position in India's Top Trending videos on YouTube displacing Yennai Arindhaal... from first place with a view count of nearly 0.5 million.[81]
Raghunadha Rao filed a similar case against the film at Saifabad police station on 10 January 2015.[84] Telangana lawyers lodged a complaint with the law minister A. Indrakaran Reddy on 16 January 2015 and requested him to take immediate steps to delete objectionable scenes from the film.[85] The division bench comprising Chief Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice P. V. Sanjay Kumar of the Hyderabad High Court pointed out that it could not grant any order without making the producer and director of the film a party to the case. Raghunadha Rao then was permitted to file a fresh petition seeking a ban on the screening of the film.[86]
In contrast, IANS rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "It would've been nice if the core plot was retained and changes were made to the film and its characters. But you can't watch Gopala Gopala with such expectations because it successfully reproduces scenes and characters from the original as though remaking is misunderstood as copying frame-to-frame. One way it's commendable that the makers didn't try to make many changes since the remake features popular stars such as Daggubati and Pawan, who usually play to the gallery. But all this has been done at the cost of creativity and that's what makes the remake less exciting, if not boring."[93]
