Production
The producer Katragadda Murari initially wanted K. S. Sethumadhavan to direct this film but differences arose due to choice of music composer as Sethu wanted M. S. Viswanathan to compose whereas Murari wanted K. V. Mahadevan. After Sethumadhavan walked out, Dasari Narayana Rao was chosen to direct. For the role of Padma, Vakkalanka Padma, daughter of singer Vakkalanka Sarala was chosen to portray it. Actor and voice actor P. Ravishankar portrayed the younger version of Shoban Babu.[1]
