Interesting facts

Ninne Pelladata is a 1996 Indian Telugu-language romantic family drama film written and directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced by Nagarjuna under the Annapurna Studios banner. The film stars Nagarjuna and Tabu, with music composed by Sandeep Chowta, marking his debut in Telugu cinema and composing for films.

Production

While Gulabi (1995) was still under production, director Krishna Vamsi caught the attention of Nagarjuna, who expressed interest in collaborating with him. Impressed by a few songs from Gulabi, Nagarjuna saw a couple of songs picturized for Gulabi and he instantly decided that Krishna Vamsi should direct his next film..

Initially, Krishna Vamsi developed a script featuring action and violence, scouting locations in Visakhapatnam for a project that would later become Samudram (1999). However, audience feedback about the violent tone of Gulabi led him to reconsider his approach. Seeking to distinguish his style from his mentor Ram Gopal Varma’s, Krishna Vamsi decided to create a family-oriented drama focusing on relationships and entertainment.

Krishna Vamsi completed the script in just 15 days and presented it to Nagarjuna. After a narration of the storyline, Nagarjuna approved the project. Krishna Vamsi aimed to incorporate Telugu cultural elements into the film, ensuring it remained relatable while retaining the emotional appeal of its Hindi counterparts.

Casting for the film involved extensive deliberation. Meena was initially considered for the female lead but could not commit due to scheduling conflicts. Krishna Vamsi screen-tested over 60 applicants for the female lead and suddenly realized that Tabu could best essay the role. Krishna Vamsi met her at the Mumbai airport and hurriedly narrated the script to her while she was waiting to catch a flight.

The film's cinematography was handled by K. Prasad, with art direction by Peketi Ranga and editing by Shankar. Y. V. S. Chowdary served as the co-director.
