After Pitta Kathalu, this is Netflix's second original film to be produced. In an interview, Raj Nidimoru said that "We want to support indie filmmakers, specially first timers to make their films. The idea is not to call for stories because it’s not like we have a dearth of them. It’s about finding a filmmaker who has a story or script and wants to make this film. If it interests us, we want to help them make it without any hassle." A promotional trailer was released on 30 April 2021.

The film premiered on 14 May 2021 on Netflix.

Another reviewer writing to NTV, stated "Cinema Bandi toys with themes like hope and redemption. While the premise is heart-warming, the treatment could have been way better."
