During his final year of college, an assistant director from Sekhar Kammula's team contacted Duddala asking him to audition for the film Life Is Beautiful after going through his profile on a social networking website. He subsequently was cast as the main lead of the film, as Amala Akkineni's son.[3]

Many comparisons were drawn to Kammula's earlier film, Happy Days, due to the similarity of the genre.
