Production

Moodu Mullu is a remake of the 1983 Tamil film Mundhanai Mudichu.[3][4] It was directed by Jandhyala who also wrote the screenplay. AVM Productions, the producers of the original, produced the remake in association with Sri Saradhi Studios.[1] Cinematography was handled by S. Gopal Reddy, and editing by Gautham Raju. The film eschewed many double entendre/suggestive dialogues from Mundhanai Mudichu. Principal photography took place in and around Amalapuram and West Godavari district, in a single schedule that lasted between 30 and 40 working days.[2]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Rajan–Nagendra,[5] with lyrics by Veturi and Jyothirmayi.[2] The tune of the song "Nee Kosam Yavvanamantha" and "Leta Chaligaalulu" was adapted from the composers' own songs "Aakashave Beelali Mele" and "Preethiya Maathige Ethake Naachike" from the Kannada films Nyayave Devaru (1971) and Gayathri Maduve (1983), respectively.[2][a]
