Production

Abbayigaru is a remake of the 1987 Tamil film Enga Chinna Rasa, directed by and starring K. Bhagyaraj. The original, a low-budget production co-starring Radha, was a critical and commercial success. Its emotional mother-son storyline and box office performance inspired remakes in several languages, including the Hindi adaptation Beta (1992), starring Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, which became the highest-grossing Hindi film of that year.

Actor Krishna initially acquired the Telugu remake rights for Enga Chinna Rasa and planned to produce and star in it under his Padmalaya Studios banner. He envisioned senior actress Vanisri in the key role of the mother. However, Vanisri declined the offer due to a previous dispute with Krishna's wife, Vijaya Nirmala, leading to delays.

Eventually, producer M. Narasimha Rao of Raasi Movies purchased the remake rights from Padmalaya Studios for ₹30 lakh. He recast the film with Venkatesh in the lead role and titled it Abbayigaru. Krishna attended the film's launch event, gave the inaugural clap, and expressed confidence that the film would surpass the box office records of Venkatesh's earlier hit, Chanti (1992).
