The film’s story revolves around a mortuary van driver, Basthi Balaraju (Gummakonda), who falls for a widow whose husband’s body he had carried in his ambulance. Gummakonda, who is most known for his role in RX 100, has also starred in films such as Hippi, Guna 369, and Nani's Gang Leader.

Chaavu Kaburu Challaga marked the debut directorial of Koushik Paggalapati. While it bagged mixed reviews during its theatrical run, many fans were impressed with the movie and this has many awaiting the movie’s OTT release.

Earlier this month, a few Telugu films released on OTT platforms including Naveen Polishetty’s comedy-drama Jathi Ratnalu and Vijay Sethupathi’s Uppena. Vakeel Saab and Wild Dog are expected to release on digital platforms next month.
