Production

The film began production in February of 2001,[2] and Krishna also worked as a director and editor of the film.[3] This film marked the debut of Krishna's two grandsons Ghattamaneni Jaya Krishna and Ashok Galla.[4][5]

Soundtrack

edit

The music was composed by Vandemataram Srinivas with lyrics by Jaladi.[3] Krishna acted without a mustache for a song in the film; he had never removed his mustache since his role in Thene Manasulu (1965).[3] He played nine roles in another song in the film including Alluri Sitarama Raju, Bhagat Singh, Chatrapati Sivaji, Subash Chandra Bose, and Veerapandya Kattabomman.[6]

Reception

edit

A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "The film is so contrived to the core, and there is so little intelligence involved in its making, there is hardly anything in it to talk about".[1]

Box office

edit

The film ran for fifty days in two theatres: Mini Odeon in Hyderabad (now defunct) and Priyadarshini in Vijayawada.[7]
