Sambarala Rambabu was directed by G. V. R. Seshagiri Rao and produced by T. Mohan Rao under Sri Ramana Chitra.[1] It is a remake of the 1968 Tamil film Ethir Neechal written and directed by K. Balachander, itself based on his stage play of the same name. S. V. Ranga Rao was cast as the cook Nair. Raman, who played the role on stage, was hired to supervise the shoot. During the filming of the song "Sedi Ketto", Raman suggested that Ranga Rao dance, but the latter refused. After Raman told Ranga Rao that he only had to do a few comic moves, he assented, and the segment attained popularity.[2] Cinematography was handled by Bhaskar Rao Polu and editing by Anki Reddy Veluri.[1]
