Production
Kranthi Kumar, who made Pranam Khareedu with Chiranjeevi, wanted to produce a small-budget film with him after the blockbuster Sardar Papa Rayudu. Doraiswamy Raju recommended the name of A. Kodandarami Reddy to Kranthikumar. After being unsatisfied with the scripts, Kranthi decided to adapt the novel Kotta Malupu into a feature film. The team decided to keep the film's title as Nyayam Kavali after considering titles like Aadapilla and Anyayam.[1][3] The film was made on a budget of ₹5 lakh. Chiranjeevi was paid ₹15,000 and A. Kodandarami Reddy was paid ₹5,000.[1] The film is Radhika's Telugu debut, and a scene where she slaps Chiranjeevi took 24 takes to perfect.[4]
