Kodandarami Reddy in Telugu and Yaar Kannan in Tamil.[1] Mumaith Khan plays dual roles as a snakewoman and a city woman.[2] The film was later shot in Tamil as Pournami Nagam (2010) with Karunas replacing Rajiv Kanakala as the male lead.[3]
A childhood scene regarding Mumaith Khan's character was shot in Tamil Nadu.[2]
Music by S. A. Rajkumar. The Telugu version features a remix of "Ragulutondi" from Khaidi (1983).[4]
Regarding the Telugu version, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "[i]t is for the people who still want to see bhakti cinemas made on snakes".[5]
Regarding the Tamil version, Behindwoods also gave the film a rating of one and half stars out of five and stated that, "The story is quite rundown and albeit falling in the fantasy genre fails to convince the viewer, or rather makes the viewer forget the fact that the plot is ridden with loopholes and devoid of any clever twist".[6]
