The film stars Allu Sirish, Surbhi, Srinivas Avasarala, and Seerat Kapoor in lead roles. The story explores the concept of parallel lives, where the protagonist confronts his destiny, fate, and time. It draws inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film Rear Window (1954).

Okka Kshanam was released on December 28, 2017, and received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.
