Trivia:
-
Khaidi marked the first mega hit in Chiranjeevi's carreer.
-
Madhavi's sister Keertika was the costume designer for Madhavi in the film.
-
The film's songs
ragulutOndi mogalipoda... and
idEmiTabbaa...? were big hits at that time. Dances by Siva Subrahmanyam for the song
ragulutOndi mogalipoda... were the talk of the industry at that time! Many others tried to copy that song later but failed to get the same impact. One such examples is a song in Bhanuchander-Tulasi starrer
Vastad.
