Sammakka Sarakka is a 2000 Telugu-language action drama film directed by Dasari Narayana Rao starring himself, Roja, Ramya Krishna and Prakash Raj.[1]
The film began production in 1999 but was stalled because of Dasari Narayana Rao's Pichodi Chetilo Raayi (1999). Ramya Krishna had not received remuneration for the film, so she left the film and the duration of her role was shortened.[2]
The music was composed by Vandemataram Srinivas and features eight songs.[3] The lyrics were written by Suddala Ashok Teja and Dasari Narayana Rao.[4] The songs were released under the Aditya Music audio label.[5]
Prior to the release of the film, Annapurna Studios sent a complaint to Dasari Narayana Rao saying that he owned money to them from the failure of Ramanaidu Studios' Prema Mandiram (1981) starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao and had to pay it before Sammakka Sarakka (2000) could release. D. Suresh Babu intervened and sent the needed dues to Annapurna Studios.[6]
