Development

edit

Kalyani Malik was selected to compose the film's music and background score in his maiden association with Avasarala. Malik commenced the film's recording at Hyderabad on 1 October 2013 even before the start of the film's production.[1] The first song was recorded by Sunitha during the recording session.[1] Initially, Anantha Sriram was the sole lyricist of the film contributing two songs for the album, but Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry also wrote the song "Inthakante Vere" which had two versions recorded by Hemachandra and Karunya, respectively.[2] Malik felt that the film's music was reminiscent of Salil Chowdhury's compositions for Chhoti Si Baat (1976).[3]
