Production

In May 1981, at about 16 years old, in Tamil Nadu, Sudha Chandran met with an accident in which her legs were wounded. She received initial medical treatment of her injuries at a local hospital and was later admitted to Vijaya Hospital at Madras. After doctors discovered that gangrene had formed on her right leg, amputation was required. Chandran says that this period was the toughest time of her life.

The film's producer Ramoji Rao who came across this story in an article from Anand Bazaar newspaper asked Atluri Ramarao to gather information about the dancer as he felt the subject had the potential to be made into a film to inspire lot of people. Ramarao approached writer Ganesh Patro to develop a story on this idea. Patro wrote the dialogues who also co-wrote the screenplay with Singeetham Srinivasa Rao.

Ramoji Rao chose Singeetham Srinivasa Rao as director who suggested Sudha Chandran to enact her character onscreen. Though they were excited by the idea but were unsure "if we could find and convince her or that her performance would be impressive" hence they were in search of girls from dance schools for the lead role and found one for it.

The film was launched on 10 November 1984 where the first shot was taken on Chandran, Baby Varalakshmi, Chakri Toleti at the office of Ushakiron Movies. The song "Gaurishankara" was shot at Govind Dev Temple, Amberpore Palace, Ramgadh Dam, Rambagh Palace, and the rest of the song was shot at Golconda Fort while the song "Mounam Gaanam" was shot at Galta. The climax was shot at Atluri Purnachandra Rao's guesthouse in Madras.
