Vijay revealed that the soundtrack would feature a remixed version of the song "Oka Laila Kosam" from the film Ramudu Kadu Krishnudu (1983) after which this film is titled.[3] "The director suggested we remix it as it would be suitable for the situation. We convinced Anup Rubens (music composer) and he did it. Then the film was also named 'Oka Laila Kosam' as it was apt and blended well," Chaitanya added.[4]

It was reported in mid-August 2014 that the film's soundtrack is scheduled for a release on 15 August 2014 with one of the songs being launched at Hyderabad and two songs being launched at PVP Mall in Vijayawada.[5] The film's soundtrack was purchased by Aditya Music.
