Cast

Production The film marked the debut of Ghanta Ravi and the return of Malvika Raaj to films after Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). A song sequence was shot in Slovenia.

Soundtrack The audio launch was held on 28 June 2017 with K. Raghavendra Rao, Allu Arjun, and Ganta Srinivasa Rao in attendance.

Reception Sridhar Adivi of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote that Paranjee "sticks to a done-to-death plot and fails to engage the audience that had placed big hopes on this talented director, especially since it is his comeback film of sorts. But alas, Jayadev ends up as a disappointing fare". Murali Krishna CH of Cinema Express wrote, "Jayadev is a deliberate attempt to show that Ghanta Ravi can flex his muscles, shake a leg to peppy numbers, shed some tears while making sure justice is served".
