This movie was a remake of the Tamil film Palaivana Solai directed by Robert-Rajasekaran.

The movie was adapted from his own novel Mahal lo Kokila (The Nightingale in the Palace). The movie won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu.

For a significant period of his career, Vamsy collaborated with the music director Ilayaraja. Some of their best work has been in co-operation with each other. The two were so attuned to each other's way of thinking that for a song in his movie Ladies Tailor, Vamsy shot the video for a song ("Ekkada Ekkada") before the song was recorded. This is against the norm as usually the songs are recorded first and the videos are made later in most movies.
