→Trivia
- The film's director K. Uday Chandu is also a noted cinematographer, having shot for many Telugu films before making his directorial debut with this movie.
- Actress Kunkum, who played the lead role Madhu, is primarily known as a television anchor and this film marked a rare foray into a lead role in cinema.
- The movie's plot involving 'kshudra pooja' (black magic rituals) taps into a recurring theme of occult practices in some regional Telugu thrillers of that era.
- Veteran actor Kota Srinivas Rao, who plays the grandfather, was known for his powerful antagonist roles, making his character's murderous intent a familiar trope for audiences.
- The film's title 'Kshatriya' refers to the warrior caste in Hinduism, which is an ironic contrast to the protagonist being targeted by her own family.
- Despite its thriller plot set largely in a house, the film was shot extensively in realistic indoor locations to maintain a claustrophobic atmosphere.
- Actor Jaya Prakash Reddy, who plays Dawood, was a beloved character actor known for his comedy and villain roles, but his character here is purely antagonistic.
