Yarlagadda Venkanna Chowdary who himself was a landlord decided to produce a film based on the theme of exploitation of farmers by landlords written by socialist writer Sunkara Sathyanarayana for his debut production. Adurthi Subbarao was signed on to direct the film while Sunkara and Tapi Dharma Rao wrote the dialogues. B. S. Jagirdar and Akkineni Sanjeevi worked as cinematographer and editor respectively.
Nageswara Rao and Savitri were selected to portray the lead pair. S. V. Rangarao was first offered the landlord’s role, but Rangarao preferred the character of downtrodden farmer Chandraiah’s character as he found it more challenging. Dagubati Ramanaidu who went on to become a popular producer in Telugu cinema worked as one of the partners in the film. The film was also happened to be his debut film as an actor. He acted as the body double for Nageswara Rao driving the bullock cart in long shot scenes besides donning the district collector’s role.
