Production
The film was produced by P. Naga Lakshmi, who previously produced Aadi (2002).[1] In October 2003, the film was shot in Chilakaluripet, Guntur (at Jinnah Tower) and Narasaraopet.[4] As of 24 November 2003, the shooting of the film was complete except for two songs.[1]
Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by S. A. Rajkumar.[5] Nachaki of Telugu Cinema wrote "The tunes are good, yes, but seem too common, and blame it partly on the beat used in the songs. The audience feels like they're listening to songs of a mid-80's movie, partly because of the theme of the movie!"[6]
