Here's a fun fact: this film was not originally meant for Chiranjeevi, but for his brother Nagababu. Director Vijaya Bapineedu first planned a family drama with Nagababu, something like 'Bommarillu', and even had a title, 'Arevo Samba'.
However, Nagababu himself insisted that a mass film of this scale would be perfect only for Chiranjeevi. When the initial story didn't impress the Megastar, the Paruchuri Brothers stepped in and completely transformed it into a mass entertainer.
It's often said that if Nagababu had done this film and it became a hit, he too might have become a big commercial hero. However, the Mega family has never officially confirmed this story. The title 'Gang Leader' itself was borrowed from a popular serial written by Satyamurthy (music director Devi Sri Prasad's father) in 'Megastar' magazine.
Another interesting tidbit is that Chiranjeevi shot the famous 'Vaana Vaana Velluvaye' song while suffering from a 104-degree fever, showing his incredible professionalism.
