Production
Krishna Vamsi went to Vishakapatnam to scout locations for a Nagarjuna film that would go on to become Samudram. After he got comparisons with Ram Gopal Varma's Gulabi (1995), Vamsi ditched the script and rewrote it so that it was sans violence. He took the Hindi films Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) for inspiration and changed the script to suit the Telugu audience. Vamsi narrated the script to Nagarjuna on the sets of Ramudochadu (1996). Nagarjuna accepted the film after the three minute narration.
