Production[]

Kranthi Kumar, who made Pranam Khareedu with Chiranjeevi, wanted to produce another small budget film with him after the blockbuster Sardar Paparayudu. Doraiswamy Raju recommended the name of A. Kodandarami Reddy to Kranthikumar. After being unsatisfied with the scripts, Kranthi decided to adapt the novel Kotta Malupu into a feature film. The team decided to keep the film's title as Nyayam Kavali after considering titles like Aadapilla and Anyayam.[3]

The movie was made on a budget of just 5 lakh rupees. Chiranjeevi, A. Kodandarami Reddy and Sharada were all paid 10,000 INR and Raadhika was paid 5000 INR.
