Production

While Kannamba was producing this film in Tamil, AVM produced the same story in Kannada with the title Naga Devatha. They dubbed that film into Tamil and released with the title Naga Devathai before Kannamba released her film. Therefore, Kannamba's film Naga Panchami was a flop. So, Kannamba dubbed that film into Telugu and released.

Soundtrack

The lyrics were penned by S. D. S. Yogi, Nagai Mani and V. Seetharaman. Music composer is not known.[2]
