| ''Enga Veetu Penn'' was directed by [[Tapi Chanakya]] and produced by [[B. Nagi Reddy]] and [[Aluri Chakrapani]] of [[Vijaya Vauhini Studios|Vijaya Combines Productions]].<ref name="Anandan" /> It was remade from the company's own [[Telugu language|Telugu]] production ''[[Shavukaru]]'' (1950), and co-producer Chakrapani doubled as screenwriter, making the film more modern than the Telugu original.{{sfn|Rajadhyaksha|Willemen|1998|p=384}} Cinematography was handled by [[Marcus Bartley]], editing by C. P. Jambulingam, and art direction by S. Krishna Rao and Kaladhar.<ref name="poster" /> [[S. V. Ranga Rao]], originally part of the cast, criticised the casting of [[Vijaya Nirmala|Nirmala]] as the female lead, feeling she looked "too frail" to play her character, and ordered the producers to replace her. Nagi Reddy cancelled shooting for the day. The next day, Nirmala was called back to the studio, and realised that Ranga Rao was replaced by [[S. V. Subbaiah]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Narasimham |first=M.

| ''Enga Veetu Penn'' was released on 23 October 1965, [[Diwali]] day.<ref name="poster">{{Cite news |date=23 October 1965 |title=Engaveettu Penn |page=14 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19651023&printsec=frontpage&hl=en}}</ref> Writing in ''[[Sport and Pastime]]'', T. M. Ramachandran called it a "damp squib", saying that "the picture attempts to sustain the interest of the viewers with its heartwarming story but the audience cannot but see a ring of familiarity around the whole theme." He applauded the performances of the cast, particularly Jaishankar and Rajan, but criticised the abundance of songs, saying that "holds up the story many a time".<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Ramachandran |first=T.
