Immadi Pulikeshi is based on the story of the famous Kannada ruler Pulakeshin II of the Chalukya dynasty, who was significantly involved in branching out the dynasty to extend over most parts of the Deccan. The movie was the 100th movie of actor Balakrishna. Music composer G. K. Venkatesh produced the movie under the banner Sri Venkatesh Chitra. Rajkumar plays the title character Immadi Pulikeshi, while Udayakumar plays a hunchback Kubja Vishnuvardhana.

K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, father of S. S. Rajamouli and the story writer of Baahubali: The Beginning had revealed that he was inspired by the hero introduction sequence of this movie[2] and hence incorporated a similar sequence in the movie Baahubali: The Beginning.[3] He had further revealed that the core story line - where one brother is not given the throne because of his disability, leading to animosity between blood relatives - was also partly inspired by this movie.[4]
