Set in the backdrop of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, the film also features Krithi Shetty and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. The theme revolves around honour killings. It narrates the story of a fisherman named Aasi (played by Vaishnav Tej), who falls in love with Bebamma (played by Krithi Shetty). Bebamma’s father Rayanam (played by Vijay), tries to separate the couple for the sake of his honour. The aftermath depicts how the couple manages to end up together. The flick focuses on the class divide which is often showcased in the South film industry.

Apart from the lead actors, the ensemble star cast of the film also includes Sai Chand, Gayatri Jayaram, Mahadevan and Rajeev Kanakala in the crucial roles. Interestingly,  actor Panja Vaishnav Tej is the nephew of Megastar Chiranjeevi and brother of actor Sai Dharma Tej. Earlier, the movie was set to release on April 2, 2020, but was later pushed due to a coronavirus pandemic. Republicworld gave three stars out of five while stating that Bucchi Babu is a great storyteller and the actors have a lot of potentials.
