==Production==
Veturi wrote this story for a drama company called Rekha and Murali Arts. Later everyone involved thought that the story was not suitable for a stage drama as the heroine of the story has to perform a dual role. It was felt that the story was suitable for a motion picture.
[[B. Padmanabham]] took up the task of producing the film under the banner ''Rekha & Murali Arts'' with the support from Kakarla Venkateswarlu of Vani film distributors. Padmanabhan mortgaged his house for Rs. 40,000 for the initial capital. Most of the shooting was done in Vauhini Studios, Chennai in three months.
* [[Vanisri]] acted as a guest in the college anniversary festival song "Naaku Neeve Kaavalera".
* Master Murali acted as Madhu, son of Prasad and Seeta. He is the eldest son of B. Padmanabham.
* Padmanabham portrayed the character as Varahalu, who is crazy about films and film actors. In the film, he visits Madras to personally meet many famous film actors of that time.
* Vallam Narasimha Rao, one of the partners in Rekha and Murali Arts has acted in the film as the lover of Savitri.
