EVV conceptualized the story of men becoming women and vice versa while working under Jandhyala as an assistant director. He initially the story sent to Andhra Jyothi for publication but the newspaper rejected it. The film was also inspired by a play written by Madireddy Sulochana. EVV took the basic theme of Sulochana's play and his old story and developed it into the story of Jamba Lakidi Pamba.

D. V. V. Danayya, who liked the script agreed to produce the film. Initially titled as Reverse Gear, the film was later renamed to Jamba Lakidi Pamba as the makers felt that the former might be taken in a negative way.

EVV wrote the script envisioning Rajendra Prasad in the lead role. However owing to Prasad's busy schedule, EVV approached Naresh. He liked script and signed immediately. Several actresses where approached for lead role but Tamil actress Meenakshi was finalised. She adopted the screen name Aamani and made her debut in Telugu cinema.

The film was entirely shot in Visakhapatnam in the span of a month.
