Soundtrack
The music was composed by Ghantadi Krishna to the lyrics of K. Kalyan. The song "Devaru Varavanu Kotre", performed by Kumar Sanu was highly praised and considered an evergreen song. The song "Thirupathi Thirumala" was lifted from the Tamil song "Thirupathi Ezhumalai" in Ninaivirukkum Varai composed by Deva, who coincidentally re-used “Devaru Varavanu Kotre” as “Oru Varam Deivam Thanthal” in the Tamil remake.
