Trivia
- The film was originally planned as a direct sequel to Kodi Ramakrishna's 1992 horror hit 'Ammoru', but the story was developed into a standalone film.
- Actress Soundarya, who played the wife, was known for her strong devotional roles and was a top star at the time, bringing significant audience draw.
- The special effects, considered advanced for early 2000s Telugu cinema, were handled by the same team that worked on many of the director's fantasy films.
- A key plot element involves 'yantras' and tantric rituals, which were researched from folk practices common in coastal Andhra Pradesh.
- The movie's climax was shot at a real Durga temple, with the crew obtaining special permission for the night schedule.
- Despite the horror theme, the film's soundtrack by Koti included a popular romantic duet that received heavy radio play.
- The antagonist spirit's makeup and costume design were inspired by traditional depictions of 'chudail' (witch) from Indian folklore.
